Ed Gein maybe should have known that it was better to be comfortable in his own skin because it was illegal to wear other people's but he didn't. A little bit of dark humor goes a long way. They are made out of heavy durable ceramic that is bound to be a favorite. These mugs are made in a small town in Central Minnesota and are pressed with love, they are also pressed by hand so there may be some slight differences between the mug showing and the mug you get. Thank you so much for looking!
