Henna Vines Mug, Berry Purple, 13oz
Henna Vines Mug, Berry Purple, 13oz
Swirly, leafy vines climb up the seam of this lavender purple handmade pottery mug. The inside of this mug is plain (no texture).
The mug is a dark purple with some lavender, periwinkle and blueish highlights. Some mugs have more glaze drips and variation than others - let it be a surprise, or write in the comment box if you would like a particularly drippy one!
13 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. Items are shipped from Princeton BC via Canada Post. I live in a rural area and I bring parcels to the post office 1-2 times per week, so your items will be shipped within 2-5 days of your order. Shipping is $18-25 depending on your location; this is calculated at check-out.
