Porcelain
3.5 in H x 4.5 in x 3 in each
Fill your days with positive reminders delivered to you in beautiful ceramic works. This collection of Mugs by Stepanka Summer has a motivating collection of daily affirmations with sayings like "Hope Anyway" and "You're Stardust".
These cups are made in Summer's usual artist style with thin porcelain that has engraved details, often words, which allows for light to travel through. They also have the fun detail of being made with Summer's most recent font exploration and subtle glaze details which add pops of color around the form.
