Violets & Snails Spring Thaw Mug

Violets & Snails Spring Thaw Mug

A curious tale of two snails, merged as eggs after being dropped from a jay's claw. Bron as one, tails together, and separated shortly after birth in the struggle for each to go in their own direction. As the tiny snails make their opposite ways down the sacred mountain, they encounter new tastes and textures, friends, and grow into individuals according to their own circumstances. Eventually the two make their way down to the bottom of the mountain, where alders and violets grow beside a babbling stream. Bumping head first, and seeing each other for the first time, they realize the unity of their birth and what it is to come back to oneself after having taken a forked path through life. 

Hand-painted snails and violets over a peachy spring sun decorate and unglazed speckled exterior. Glossy pale green glaze on the interior and lip. Durable ceramic mug is microwave, and dishwasher safe. 

Approx. 4" tall, 4.5" diameter, this mug holds approx. 16 ounces.

Every piece is handmade by me, so please allow for minor variations.
