These are more sake cup than tea mug sized. There were 20 or so in the exhibition and I’d loved to have photographed them all, but other exhibits were in the way of good shots.
Your channeling my vibe, friend! I ordered a gorgeous ceramic mug from a potter off of Etsy about a month ago and I just ordered a second from another potter. During this crazy time where we are cooped up so much, I am finding things that usually are quite insignificant – like the mug that I’m drinking out of – bring me comfort :-). Thanks for sharing the beauty.
I’m so glad you like them. I am a bit obsessive about stuff like the mug I drink from, the pen I use, etc. I love using beautiful, well-crafted things. Good for their makers as well; I suspect some small craft businesses are benefiting from our new need for small joys in our lives.
I agree! I am truly loving buying from artisans rather than big chains. A special satisfaction and helping support someone who is doing what they love. And I used to be much like you. When I slow down, I still am. I am very affected by my environment and what surrounds me. It’s just that I think I sometimes get caught up in the flurry of making a living. And I forget that it’s all about making a life :-).
Hi su
Enjoyed the little mugs and also the comments seemed to vary in richness and Content like the mugs did- how cool
And new phrase – I read that it meant “killing with too much kindness”

Yes, they’re SUPER.
But far too small.

Hard to tell what size they are, but I have a similar cup or two of a very good size. Lovely.

These cups are wonderful … love the textures and the promise of what they might hold.
I chuckled at your title and now the song is running in my ear …

Aren’t they beautiful. If we had found the artists studio, I suspect one or two might have come home with us 😍

For sure Loving Husband would have carted home a few, if given the opportunity – he has a very soft spot for hand thrown cups.

I totally understand that. Although there are exhibitions happening here, I’m a bit nervous as so few people are taking Covid seriously.
