(mugs by Gary Rith, Gary Rith's hand by God and his mom and dad, gold wedding ring that had belonged to his wife's grandmother in the 1920s).
My wife's grandmother may have had huge German fingers, or I have tiny little fingers, or maybe both. YES, my wedding ring was hers 70-80 years ago, and it is too big for my left hand. But that's not my point.
SO I am making these loop handles these days, and you can see the light green footed mugs on the bottom with turtle or frog really work well with a loop handle. But then I asked how about a mug that is shaped ( ) or the same size mug shaped ) (

So, for this type of handle, you have to make sure there is plenty of room for fingers.

Happy Friday Mr. Rith!
Why don't you remove the handles entirely like the japanese do with their mugs? That way, we can all handle the lovely pots and contemplate their beauty.
and burn our fingers, yeah, there's a SUPER IDEA!
Have you seen how the martial artists train? They toughen up the hands by punching bamboo trees, and then also by plunging them into hot coals repeatedly.
Oh, yes. I've also been itching for the right time to make my handles like ( )~ :-)
