This rare and gorgeous water lily (or lotus) cup is from Mustardseed and Moonshine, founded by Kate Carlyle in Cape Town, South Africa, to celebrate her love of the botanical best form. The idea was to make beautiful ceramic flowers that were both usable and lasting, flowers that were meticulously crafted, and simultaneously robust and functional. Kate Carlyle's pieces are functional objets d'art.
The cup is handmade, glazed with rich pink and green colors. It is lightweight, finely made, with fabulous detail and texture. And it is supremely functional: you can enjoy tea, coffee, hot cocoa, or other hot drink in it.
It is larger than a traditional teacup, rather a coffee mug size, and holds about 10 fluid ounces.
It is in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks or crazing. A rare vintage find!
Thank you for visiting, and please pose any questions you have!
