These one-of-a-kind mugs (listing is for the pair) were not just inspired by the incredible beauty of the Land of Israel—they were actually made of it. Literally.
Lovingly handbuilt of clay hewn from Israel’s earth (specifically, the Negev Desert), these oversize mugs were painted in a watercolor style of figs using underglazes, and glaze fired with transparent glaze to be food safe. They are accented with 22K gold baked on in the kiln, as a symbol of the gold used in the Holy Temple in ancient Jerusalem.
Like everything in my shop, the mugs pictured here are hand-built and hand-painted. No two items I make are ever identical, but they are the same basic size and shape are have the same basic surface decoration and glazing.
Height: 12.5 cm
Diameter: 8 cm
Capacity: 16 oz.
A note about handmade art
As with all handmade art, no two pieces are identical. Limited edition
pieces are created in the same basic shape, size, style and palette, but
there will be small differences due to handmade nature of my work.
