Hand sculpted flower mug with daisy design and purple textured glaze, leafy mug, online gardening mug, nature mug, present for gardener, daisy mug

Say 'I love you' with flowers! The gorgeous purple, green and red hand made flower mug in the photos is the one you will receive.

The flowers are abstract daisies, made in my back garden on a sunny day as I sculpted the flowers that are growing there. This mug is quite heavy and more decorative than functional. I would buy it as a decorative sculptural gift, not to use every day as a mug. It will soon break if you use it every day.

I make one of a kind, hand sculpted pottery in very small amounts in my back garden studio, which is tiny. I have a small 13amp plug in kiln, a potter's wheel and one table.
I made this flower mug over several days, first slip casting the initial shape of the mug, then fettling it, then I sculpted the vine leaves and daisies and added the many petals, one by one to the mug. I left it to dry for a few days, then bisque fired it for 24 hours. After cooling, I hand painted it with a variety of purple, leaf green and bright red glazes, with added texture, then put it back into the kiln for a second 24 hour firing.
It is more expensive than usual because flowers take a long time to make.
I don't even recommend that you use it as an every day mug, due to the delicate nature of the petals and the weight of online the mug.

I'd use it as a table centrepiece or piece of interesting sculpture to have around the house to remind you of the garden.

The 9th wedding anniversary is commemorated with pottery, so this would make a lovely gift for your loved one if you want to buy a present for a gardener.

It will arrive boxed and packed using ethical, recycled materials or coloured tissue.
