19. Mallard Duck mug
Glazed in a deep forest blue-green gloss with brown undertones — a rich, immersive hue that shifts subtly in the light. This moody base sets a dramatic and naturalistic tone, full of depth and quiet movement.
Carved into the surface are gothic windows, their graceful, arched shapes glazed in vivid purples and blue crystal glaze. The effect is like glowing stained glass hidden in the woods — vibrant, almost otherworldly. These windows catch the eye with their crystalline shimmer, standing out against the darker forest tones around them.
Around the base of the mug, fern carvings wrap delicately, glazed in a crystalized green that sparkles subtly, as if dew still clings to the leaves. The texture and glaze create an earthy, tactile layer that grounds the mug in natural beauty.
At the top of the handle, a green appliqué bow offers a surprising, playful detail — whimsical and charming, like a ribbon tied around something precious. It adds a pop of brightness and personality, contrasting with the mug’s deeper, more serene palette.
The focal point of the piece is a finely painted mallard duck, rendered with meticulous brushwork. The duck’s feathers are captured in layered, flowing strokes, reflecting subtle highlights and hues — shimmering greens, warm browns, and iridescent blues — that mimic the way light dances across real plumage. The mallard appears alert and elegant, a living centerpiece that brings a touch of realism and storytelling to the piece.
Inside, the mug reveals a jade green gloss glaze, rich and smooth, with many visible crystal growths that catch and scatter light — creating a sense of depth, like looking into a mineral pool or a gem-like spring.
