Handmade ceramic Newgrange inspired cup

Step into the mysticism of Neolithic Ireland with this handmade ritual cup, inspired by the sacred carvings found at Newgrange—a site older than the pyramids of Egypt. Each cup is formed using the pinching technique, allowing the clay to take on an organic shape, much like the ancient vessels once used in spiritual ceremonies.

✨ Symbolism & Craftsmanship ✨
The carvings on this cup echo the spirals, diamonds, and cosmic motifs found on the curbstones of Newgrange, believed to be linked to astronomical cycles, the movement of the sun, and the journey of the soul. Spirals represent eternity, continuous growth, and the cycle of life, death, and rebirth—a powerful symbol found in many ancient cultures. The inclusion of celestial motifs such as the moon, sun, and stars evokes cosmic connection, divine guidance, and timekeeping in harmony with nature.
