Rest without guilt. Reclaim your quiet hour.
In a world that constantly demands more of your speed and attention, the gentle rhythm of a rabbit offers a quiet refuge: curling up when tired, breathing softly without hurry, and waking with tender curiosity when the morning sun breaks through.
We crafted The Bunny Mug as a comforting companion for your daily pauses. Rooted in our studio’s rhythm of reclaiming 1 of your 24 hours for stillness, this 12-ounce stoneware mug invites you to wrap cold hands around the kiln’s warmth, let your shoulders drop, and grant yourself permission to simply rest.
Two Sides, One Gentle Heart: Deep Sleep & Quiet Wonder
Turn the cup in your hands, and a sweet story of soft companionship unfolds:
-
The Front (Gentle Slumber): Resting serenely along the lower curve sits a curled-up, sleeping lop-eared bunny (60×35 mm). With soft paws tucked beneath its chest and long velvet ears draping peacefully, it serves as a sweet visual reminder that resting is not a reward—it is a sacred necessity.
-
The Reverse (Quiet Wonder): Standing softly on its hind paws is a curious lop bunny (35×80 mm), peering gently into the morning light. Designed with thoughtful restraint, its head pauses with an intentional 10 mm margin below the rim, ensuring clean, smooth lip contact when sipping.
Crafted using an artisanal wax-resist relief technique, both bunny silhouettes rise subtly above the ceramic surface in warm Ginger Terracotta. When you cradle your cup, your fingertips can naturally trace the soft curve of the droopy ears and relaxed paws—a grounding, tactile comfort for anxious days.
Embracing the One-of-a-Kind: Kiln Marks & Natural Variation
We believe that true beauty lives in honest, natural imperfection:
-
Organic Iron Specks & Freckles: The warm brown flecks scattered across our creamy Vanilla Ice glaze are not factory-printed stamp marks. They emerge naturally from mineral deposits deep within the raw stoneware clay as it vitrifies in our 1,250°C studio kiln. Some mugs carry a dense constellation of freckles, while others feature a gentle, quiet dusting.
-
Subtle Glaze Nuances: High-temperature kiln firing is a living dance between heat, earth, and flame. Slight variations in glaze warmth, depth, and tone naturally occur from piece to piece, ensuring that your mug is the only one of its exact kind in existence.
-
Traces of the Potter’s Hand: From the hand-joined loop handle to the exposed, unglazed raw stoneware foot ring, each piece carries the grounding touch of clay, wheel, and fire. No two mugs in the world are completely identical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the story behind the two bunny designs on this mug?
The mug features a dual-sided narrative celebrating rest and mindfulness. The front showcases a curled-up, sleeping lop bunny reminding us of the necessity of deep rest, while the reverse side reveals a curious standing rabbit welcoming the morning with gentle wonder.
Why does my mug have random speckles and slight glaze variations?
Our mugs are made from natural high-fire stoneware vitrified at 1,250°C. The brown iron speckles and subtle tonal variations occur organically in the kiln rather than from artificial printing. These organic wabi-sabi characteristics ensure each mug is one-of-a-kind.
How should I care for the raised relief rabbit motif?
The rabbit motifs are crafted using an artisanal wax-resist relief process. To protect the tactile artwork, clean gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth or sponge. Strictly avoid steel wool, abrasive scouring pads, or harsh scrubbing powders.
Is this mug microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe?
Yes. The mug is 100% food-safe, non-toxic, lead-free, microwave-safe, and oven-safe up to 400°F (200°C). It is safe for dishwasher gentle cycles, though gentle hand washing is recommended for long-term enjoyment.
What are the dimensions and volume of the mug?
The mug holds 12 fl. oz. (355 ml) and weighs approximately 355 grams unboxed. It offers a reassuring, grounded weight that is comforting to cradle in both hands.
