This mug is treated like a full canvas—every inch covered in hand-carved pattern, from the body all the way to the handle. Using the sgraffito technique, layers are carved away to reveal intricate floral motifs that wrap and flow across the surface like a tattoo sleeve. Vines, petals, and blossoms weave together in a continuous composition, creating movement and rhythm around the entire mug.
Because the design covers every surface, there’s always something new to discover as you turn it in your hands. The carved flowers seem to dance around the form, each line cut by hand to build a lively, textured surface that invites both touch and closer inspection.
The interior and handle are finished with a smooth glaze for a comfortable feel, while the carved exterior highlights the contrast between the surface pattern and the clay beneath.
