19. Striped Octopus mug
One-of-a-kind handmade ceramic mug inspired by the colorful life of the ocean. Blue surface glazes, coral, and fish appliques, with textured handles.
This mug is adorned with an octopus applique who seems to be hiding from within the handle. Topped with coral, the handle itself is a deeply carved surface to mimic the textures of coral. These designs are surrounded by a lush ocean blue gloss glaze. The focal point of the mug is a black striped octopus painting rendered in meticulous details. The octopus is not clear glazed giving it a raw clay texture. This choice of not clear glazing the painting makes it contrasted against the surrounding gloss glaze. The painting is coated in liquid quartz sealer protecting it from UV light and potential stains. Swimming around the octopus, beneath the gloss glaze are brown carved fish-like shapes. These fish create atmospheric perspective of the deep ocean.
Microwave and dishwasher safe.
