Hand-Painted Walking Bird & Flower Mug with Yellow Handle

Pottery Handmade | Hand-painted | One-of-a-kind Diameter: 7.8 cm | Height: 7.3 cm This mug is crafted using black clay coated with hand-applied white slip. After the initial bisque firing, the illustrations are painted over the glaze. The handle is finished with a vibrant orange-yellow glaze. The slip and glazes are applied entirely by hand. The brushstrokes and variations in thickness are intentional, adding a unique character and depth to the piece. The design features a humorous bird and flowers in bright red and pink tones, reminiscent of a child’s innocent drawing. The theme of a "walking bird" that chooses not to fly carries a subtle, meaningful message for the user to reflect upon. *Note: Pottery (earthware) is distinct from porcelain, offering a softer and warmer texture to the skin. Minor pinholes (glaze pores) or slight glaze variations may be present; these are considered part of the "incomplete beauty" and rustic charm of handmade clay art. Initially, the texture may seem simpler than in photos, but as you use it, the authentic, tactile quality and rustic simplicity will grow on you.
