There is a particular kind of morning that belongs to the mountains — unhurried, mist-soft, threaded with the smell of kahwa and roses. This mug carries something of that. Hand-painted by our master artisan's family workshop — a craft house established in 1890 — each piece is made from stainless steel and painted entirely by hand, one brushstroke at a time. Double-walled so the mug never feels hot from the outside.

On warm cream-yellow: two plump folk-art birds face each other across a branching stem, their bodies filled with fine white hatch-line detail, painted in deep navy blue. Around them, small oval leaves and teardrop buds. The most distinctive piece in the collection — the one people ask about first, and remember longest.

For the person who has everything, this is the thing they didn't know they needed. Pair it with the matching Garden Breakfast Bowl and Spoon for a morning set that turns an ordinary table into something worth lingering at.

Hand-painted on stainless steel. Hand wash only to preserve the painting. One of four designs in The Garden Collection.
