This ceramic mug features a stylized magpie resting among curling branches, leaves, and circular floral forms. Deep teal, coral red, and soft grey accents stand out against the black clay surface, while the pale carved lines connect the bird with the surrounding growth. The composition feels dense but balanced, as if the bird has become part of the forest rather than simply appearing within it.
Every EBMing piece begins with an original design, with the carving, coloring, and finishing all completed by hand. The studio does not copy nature exactly, but reshapes familiar plants and living forms into patterns with their own rhythm and character. Each piece is fired at 1240°C, preserving the depth of the carved lines, the richness of the hand-applied color, and the subtle variations that make every piece slightly different.
