A small ceramic mug discovered in Southern Italy.

While not ancient, I was drawn to the glaze, which combines the yellow and green glazes characteristic of everyday pottery from Puglia, and the design that makes the movement of the flowing glaze itself a picturesque feature.

When liquid is added, slight water stain-like changes may appear due to absorption into the unglazed clay. (It does not leak.)

This small ceramic piece is perfect for quietly enjoying the flow of the glaze and the layering of colors on a shelf or table.
