Dotterel Espresso Cup and Saucer (NEW DESIGN)

This design and glaze is inspired by the beautiful Dotterel bird found on New Zealand beaches during nesting season during October and November.  A mum and baby chick can be found on the mug.  

The birds are surrounded by a speckled/spotted matte glaze on the exterior of the mug, creating a lovely smooth-to-touch finish.  The intererior has a glossy opaque white glaze adding to the visual effect and ensuring the mug, is functional, durable and food safe. Instead of a handle, a saucer is provided to rest the warm mug on initially,  and to complete the ritual of a relaxed drinking experience.  

The design reflects the beachy sands, speckled plumage, and eggs of these cute locals, and creates a lovely spotted and textural visual effect.  A local New Zealand speckled clay, manufactured in Nelson, finishes off the look of these unique handmade mugs - making it the perfect gift or collectors piece.
