ABOUT PRODUCTID 32666
This sgraffito mug from Perugia, Italy, exemplifies early 20th-century Italian ceramic craftsmanship. Made from glazed ceramic, it features the sgraffito technique, with incised lines separating vibrant fields of color and outlining geometric and floral motifs. The primary hue is a warm, creamy off-white, enhanced by a visible crackle glaze that lends an aged effect. The rim, base, and handle are accentuated with vivid cobalt blue, while turquoise, yellow, orange, brown, and touches of green enrich the decoration. Its cylindrical form with straight sides and an oversized, angular handle conveys a distinctly artisanal quality. The mug is signed and remains in very good condition—free from chips or losses, with purposeful crackling and minor irregularities typical of hand-painted ceramics. Height: 10 cm, diameter: 7 cm. The listed price refers to one mug. This object echoes the spirit of Italian folk art and the vibrant freedom of majolica decoration—its lines and colors telling a story of everyday enjoyment elevated by craftsmanship. The crackled glaze and hand-painted irregularities recall the unique, tactile warmth of handmade pieces. The mug seems to invite one into a sunlit Italian café, where the subtle sheen of ceramics mingles with conversation and gentle light. The mug can be paired with other majolica-style ceramics or with simple white porcelain to highlight its folkloric flair. It fits well in vintage, ethnic, or classic kitchens, but also stands out as a singular accent on a shelf in a contemporary interior. It may be combined with natural-fiber textiles and botanical elements to emphasize the organic quality of its pattern and colors.
