The Cottage Meadow Mug
Cozy vibes: Some mugs hold a drink. This one holds a whole afternoon. You turn it slowly in your hands before you even fill it, taking in the curtains, the sheep, the cat at the window. By the time you have noticed every detail, something in you has already slowed down. The warmth of the drink inside meets the warmth of the scene painted outside, and for a little while, everything feels as quiet and unhurried as that meadow.
A wide, handleless barrel mug hand-shaped into a satisfyingly round and generous form. Every inch of the surface is painted by hand and there is a lot to discover. The front tells one story: soft blush curtains with dark polka dots parted to reveal a window, and beyond the window a pale blue sky, a flowering cherry tree, a green meadow dotted with tiny sheep, and right at the center of it all, a small black cat sitting on the sill with its back to you, watching everything unfold outside. The back tells another: a cozy interior scene, an arched window looking out onto the same sheep-dotted field, a framed painting on the wall, a teal door, green leaves trailing, and the same black cat now stretched out on a windowsill, completely at rest. Two sides, one world, and a small black cat navigating both. Designed to hold ~400 ml (13.5 oz) comfortably.
Each of our handmade ceramics are made by independent artists in small batches.
Handmade ceramics carry the marks of their making. Variations in color, texture, and form reflect the artist’s process. Each piece is shaped by hand, just once, and in its own way, making it uniquely yours.
About the artist: This piece was made by Esra from her home studio in Adana, a sunny city on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Drawn to archaeology from an early age, she started by making home décor objects inspired by artifacts from the ancient world. Objects that had survived centuries because they meant something to the people who made and used them. And she found herself wondering what that really meant. What makes something worth keeping? Over time, she found her answer in the everyday. She began making pieces designed to be held, used, and loved in the small rituals of daily life.
But what truly shapes Esra's work is storytelling. Trained in literature, she approaches each design the way a writer approaches a scene, with intention, with character, with a world the viewer can step into. The black cat watching sheep graze through a window. The cozy library glimpsed from a garden wall. The cottage at golden hour with birds lifting off into a pink sky.
Esra's deepest motivation is that objects can connect us. That something made in one place, by one set of hands, can become part of someone else’s daily ritual. Each piece extends that thread, linking lives and stories across distance.
