The Indigo Geometry Mug

This hand‑built mug began as a simple slab — but the moment it met a textured placemat, it transformed into something extraordinary. The geometric pattern impressed into the clay creates a mesmerizing, almost architectural surface that feels both modern and timeless. After forming the cylinder, a carefully placed dart was added to create the subtle indentation along the upper body, giving the mug a sculptural curve and a sense of movement.

The blue‑green glaze pools beautifully into every groove, breaking over the raised edges and revealing the depth of the pattern. It’s a mug that invites touch as much as it invites use — a functional piece of art that elevates your daily coffee or tea ritual.

Artist’s Note

I love using unexpected tools to create texture, and this placemat pattern brought such a striking geometric rhythm to the clay. The darted form adds a gentle curve that makes the mug feel alive — a small detail that changes the entire silhouette.
