The Grand Bouquet - by Taboo Relics
in 4 collections
From Taboo Relics:
"The Grand Bouquet.
101 pieces will be available. These are ready to ship. We wanted it to be in your hands in time for the holidays.
$200 (+$15 shipping).
This project has been a huge milestone for us. Without a doubt, this was a passion project. This is my dream mug.
I wanted the vivid colors, and distinct features that are evocative of paradise. The matte exterior that showcases the softness of the flowers. I wanted a traditional theme with a completely non-traditional design. I wanted a bold, dramatic edge. I want this to be a statement piece.
Thank you all for being so patient while we got this ready, we just wanted to make sure it was right.
Each mug will include a Hibiscus umbrella from our friends @the_tiny_umbrella ! The colors matched so perfectly, we are thrilled to be able to share them with you."
Our Lady of Death Mug - by THOR - for Death & Co.
in 9 collections
This mug looks to be inspired by The Veiled Virgin, a Carrara marble statue carved in Rome by Italian sculptor Giovanni Strazza (1818–1875), depicting the bust of a veiled Virgin Mary. The veil in Giovanni's sculpture gives the appearance of being translucent, but in fact is carved of marble. The technique is similar to Giuseppe Sanmartino's 1753 statue Veiled Christ in the Cappella Sansevero in Naples. Here, THOR has created a very similar sculpt to The Veiled Virgin, but through the veil is a skull and instead of hair braids, there is a crown of tropical flowers.
From Death & Co.:
"The limited-edition Our Lady of Death mug, designed by the esteemed artist Tom 'Thor' Thordarson, is a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art that will become a unique addition to your home bar.
Product Details:
Very limited edition Holds approximately 16 ounces of cocktail Materials: Glazed ceramic Care: Hand wash only Each Death & Co Mug is handcrafted and individually glazed, making yours entirely unique."
