Garden Mug
Description
This wheel-thrown stoneware mug features delicately carved botanical motifs that wrap gently around the vessel. Stylized leaves and stems are etched into the surface and filled with a soft green glaze, allowing the design to emerge subtly from the warm marbled clay body beneath. The result is a quiet, organic pattern that feels inspired by garden growth and natural movement.
Along the rim, a flowing glaze in soft blue and earthy tones settles and drips slightly over the surface, creating a gentle transition between the carved decoration and the interior of the mug. The interplay between the carved leaves, the inlaid glaze, and the natural clay gives the piece a layered, tactile character that highlights the handmade process.
The rounded form sits comfortably in the hand, with a balanced handle that complements the mug’s soft contours. Each piece is handmade, and variations in glaze flow, carving, and clay marbling make every mug unique.

Note
All crystals and ceramic works offered by Atelier Lithic are inherently unique. Variations in size, colour, surface texture, and form are natural and should be expected.
Crystals are natural materials formed in the earth and may include surface irregularities such as natural fissures, internal veils, growth marks, contact points from where the crystal was attached to the host rock, or areas where the specimen was mined or extracted. These features are part of the crystal’s natural formation and are not considered defects. Defects are disclosed within the item description.
For crystals:
- When a listing includes numbered options (for example, 001, 002, etc.), each number corresponds to a specific crystal shown in the photos. Selecting a number means you will receive that exact crystal.
- When a crystal is shown as a group or range and sold as a quantity of one without numbered options, the images represent examples of what is available. You will receive one crystal, selected from the group, with natural variation.
For ceramics:
- All ceramic pieces are one of a kind. Unless otherwise stated, you will receive the exact piece shown in the listing photos.
If you ever want confirmation before purchasing, feel free to reach out. We're always happy to clarify or provide additional images.
