This moody stoneware mug is living proof that form, carving, and glaze can be fantastic individually but form an awkward band when brought together. The deep, dark blue glaze leans heavily into the dramatic, while the carved lines are just... leaning. Set on a round and generous shape (literally, that’s probably its best feature), this cup aims for artisanal edge but lands more like an emo art student missing their realistic phase.
Perfect for anyone who sips with an eye roll. It’s handmade, it’s functional, and it’s got the kind of personality that says “I’ve been through something.”
