All or Something, Berry Purple, 16 oz
All or Something, Berry Purple, 16 oz
All or Something - a motto I coined in 2015, now on your morning mug. :)
A daily reminder to reject all-or-nothing thoughts and accept that your best efforts are good enough, even if they aren't perfect.
The mug is plain on the inside (no texture). Glazed in a berry purple colour with hints of lavender. There’s a little flower stamp in the bottom so that there’s a little blip of joy in the bottom of your cup after your drink is gone. ;)
16 oz mug with squared handle. Comfortable for 3-4 fingers depending on hand size.
Made with high-quality, durable stoneware clay sourced from the Canadian Prairies, glazed with food-safe materials that I mix myself and fired to vitrification in my electric kiln.
Artist's Notes:
Luxuriously detailed handmade pottery, created with lots of love in my home studio in BC, Canada. All my mugs start as hand-rolled slabs of soft clay and I shape them with the use of simple tools and sponges. I like to leave the joining seam visible, signaling that the pieces were not formed on the pottery wheel and have a unique relationship with my hands. My pottery is more lightweight than you might expect if you are used to using wheel-thrown pottery.
My inspiration is to make items for “everyday luxury” - useful pots that are a pleasure to use and look at. My experience as a henna artist helps me draw designs with exquisite detail, and my hope is that the raised texture brings you joy. Each one is decorated freehand with liquid clay, so every design is individually different.
Food, microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe, but handmade pottery loves to be pampered with hand washing and gentle use :) The bottom of each piece has been smoothed with diamond sanding pads to prevent scratching your furniture.
Shipped items always include an extra little gift, and are packed attractively and safely with re-used materials (bubble wrap, foam sheets, and brown wrapping paper) to help reduce waste. Shipping is $18-25 depending on your location; this is calculated at check-out. All items ship from BC Canada via Canada Post.
