18. Swan mug












18. Swan mug
Finished in a creamy gloss glaze, smooth and luminous. It creates a gentle, neutral backdrop that allows the more vivid and sculptural elements to shine.
Prominently featured on either side are carved gothic windows, glazed in a bright, cheerful blue and pink. The colors glow against the creamy surface, like stained glass catching the sun, and adds a whimsical, fairytale charm to the mug's overall design.
Delicate plant life carvings encircle the base of the mug, winding organically like reeds or water plants. Their gentle lines create movement and root the piece in the natural world, setting the stage for the quiet scene it holds.
The handle is adorned with brass-like filigree, wrapping its edges with antique gold tones that add a regal, decorative flourish. At the top of the handle, two mirrored white swan appliqués face each other, their necks gently arched in symmetry — a symbol of love, grace, and balance. Their sculptural form adds dimensional elegance and echoes the central theme of the piece.
At the base of the mug is the focal point: a beautifully painted swan, rendered in soft, detailed brushstrokes. It appears to be swimming along the lower edge of the mug, as though gliding through calm water, its reflection implied in the flow of the glaze and carvings. The scene feels tranquil and timeless — serene, yet full of quiet emotion.
Inside, the mug bursts with a bright pink gloss glaze, matching the gothic windows. This unexpected pop of vivid color adds joy and personality, like a hidden bloom waiting to be discovered with every sip.
