Each cup is shaped, carved and painted entirely by hand by Italian ceramic artist \u003cstrong\u003eVeronica Pala\u003c\/strong\u003e, which means no two are ever exactly alike.

Once leather-hard, she carves a band of fine geometric detailing around the foot by hand, a nod to ancient ceremonial patterns and highlights it with a pale inlay before glazing and firing each piece individually. It is a process measured in days, not minutes: the kind of craft that carries the love and intention of the maker into every cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo natural characters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the colour that speaks to your ritual:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhite:\u003c\/strong\u003e made from white clay with a soft, luminous glaze and a hand-carved band at the base.
