This small hand-pinched mug was created as a ritual vessel for cyclical time — a cup meant for moments of pause, reflection, and seasonal turning, no matter where you are in the year.
Formed from rich dark chocolate clay, the body has a grounded, earthen presence in the hand. The handle is finished in a soft oatmeal glaze, evoking ash, stone, and quiet light. Along the surface, the symbols are hand-carved, not stamped, allowing each mark to remain intentional and alive.
The imagery speaks in a universal language:
• The Sun — vitality, warmth, and returning energy
• The Spiral — movement, transformation, and the unfolding of time
• The Moon — rhythm, intuition, and the unseen cycles
Together, these symbols honor the ongoing turning of seasons, the rise and fall of light, and the continuity beneath change.
Each mug is shaped intuitively, leaving subtle variations in form and texture. This is not a perfectly uniform cup — it is a functional ritual object, meant to be held slowly, warmed by the hands, and used with presence.
Ideal for tea, espresso, ceremonial cacao, or as a small altar vessel when a symbolic companion is called for.
