This mug is made by Maurizio in Altomonte, with clay and a kick wheel. Every decoration is painted by hand before firing. No two pieces are identical: each mug is a unique object, produced in limited quantities.
 
 
 
Altomonte is a village in the hinterland of Cosenza, between the mountains of Calabria. It has a long history, an old town that looks out over the valley, a ceramic tradition that Maurizio has been carrying forward for years in his workshop. The decorations of the Limited Edition mugs come from there: coats of arms, local symbols, details that emerge from that history and that land.
 
 
 
The clay has a precise colour and texture. The firing takes place in the workshop kiln. The result is a mug with a different weight in your hand from any other: substantial, warm, present.
 
 
 
You use it for coffee, for tea, for breakfast. Or you keep it as it is, because it is a beautiful piece to look at.
 
An object that comes from a very specific place. And it shows.
