Small coffee mug. The designs are inspired by vintage cake designs. This collection is made with marbled colored clay to make the body of the piece, and whipped colored clay in a pastry bag to make the decorations. Made by Marina Lespérance Lopez in Montréal, Canada.
Please note: This is a preorder of a small mug with bunny/squirrel design. It can be only bunnies, only squirrels, or both. You can choose the color of the base and a secondary color but the rest will be a surprise. If you want a specific design like bunnies and squirrel but with birds and strawberries too, go to custom pre-orders please.
Materials
Mid-range porcelain, ceramic pigments, shiny semi-transparent milky glaze and real gold.
Approximate dimensions
Use
This mug would fit nicely a big french press coffee, lattes, and herbal tea. It’s shape that it more tall than wide will keep your beverage hot longer.
Maintenance
Hand wash gently without abrasive to keep the gold shiny longer. My pieces do not go in the microwave. Handmade ceramics are fragile by nature, they should be treated with the same care as your fanciest wine glasses.
Disclaimer
The dimensions given are approximate and can vary slightly. Each object is hand builded without the use of a potter wheel, and are never perfectly symmetrical. My pieces are all one of a kind functional artworks, and I favor artistic complexity over technical perfection. I produce the imagery on my pieces with multiple successive layers of colored porcelain, stoneware and minerals, so it is normal to perceive textures, small holes or separations between colors, or micro cracks in the frosting. Minimal flaws are to be expected. If there are more significant flaws that affect the function, the piece will be classified as ‘’seconds’’ and will be 50% off. If the flaw affects the beauty of the piece it will be marked as second and be 20% or 30% off. Please look at the images carefully as the imperfections are not hidden.
