Flower and Bird Mug

An exquisite porcelain mug cup adorned with a captivating dance of birds and flowers, rendered in calming blue tones that evoke a sense of tranquility.

It displays an exquisite gradation, painted carefully by skilled craftspeople using brushes soaked in cobalt pigment, allowing the dye to flow naturally onto the porcelain. The dye "sinks" into the clay creating a gentle and soft shade of blue. The outlines are drawn swiftly with precision and care using soft and fine brushes along the contours of the flowers and leaves. 

The interior, with its refined painting of leaves, further complements the external design, striking a harmonious balance between the pristine white and serene blue. Not only is the visual appeal unmatched, but the cup's unique and elegant handle design ensures a comfortable grip.
