This porcelain coffee mug (also perfect as a teacup with handle) is a functional piece of ceramic art, capturing quiet, cozy moments—like sitting beside a bookshelf filled with books, or placed near decorative bowls and vases with flowers. The design features a beautifully illustrated large Japanese vase with a lush bouquet, and an armchair adorned with vintage floral patterns and a cheerful yellow bird, evoking a warm and inviting interior scene.
Each mug is wheel-thrown and hand-painted, using a layered combination of underglaze transfers, glaze, overglaze, metallic lusters, and vintage ceramic transfers. These diverse materials and techniques come together to create a richly detailed, visually striking surface that balances technical craftsmanship with whimsical storytelling.
Fired to cone 6 in oxidation, with multiple low-temperature firings at cone 018, this mug demonstrates durability while preserving its intricate surface.
This piece is food safe, but because it features metallic luster decoration, it should not be used in the microwave or dishwasher. For best care, please gently hand wash with a soft sponge and non-abrasive soap.

Spilling Pepsi Cup with Coffee Lid and Five of Spades
By Richard Shaw
Located in Burlingame, CA
In the world of ceramics, Richard Shaw is a professor and the master of trompe l’oeil (French for “fool the eye”) sculpture, a style often associated with paintings intended to give a convincing illusion of reality. Shaw's work replicates everyday objects (such as tin cans, playing cards, and cutlery) in porcelain. He then glazes these components and groups them in unexpected and even jarring combinations. While interested in how objects can reflect a person’s identity, Shaw also poses questions regarding the relationship between appearance and authenticity.
