This eye-catching abstract studio pottery mug is dominated by a blue-gray glaze that continues across the exterior and interior. Darker pooled areas, expressive rust-orange marks, and copper-toned edging around the rim and handle give the piece its bold, painterly character.
Its low, rounded silhouette and sculptural handle make it feel more like a small piece of functional art than an ordinary cup. The irregular decoration, circular motifs, and shifting glaze texture are distinctive features of this one-of-a-kind mug. A small mark is visible on the base, but the maker is unconfirmed.
