In Celtic folklore, toadstools marked portals to the faerie realm – small thresholds to unseen worlds where time flows differently and magic lingers thick in the air. It was said that dragonflies were messengers between these realms, skimming the veil between earth and spirit. The Toadstool Mug is your invitation to wander these liminal spaces. With protective amethyst at your fingertips, this piece becomes a talisman for inner stillness, creative insight, and gentle enchantment among the trees. These items are handmade at every stage in the making process and so each is unique. From creating the form, to hand making each batch of glaze, to hand carving and hand painting the designs, many variances are found at each stage of the process. Each piece is mindfully created in my studio over a number of weeks, with each finished piece having its own subtle differences. That is the beauty of handmade.
