Studio Botz, an artisan pottery studio based in Israel, creates each piece by hand using methods passed down through generations of ceramic craftsmanship. This mug reflects the spontaneity and rhythm of work at the wheel, where each brushstroke of color becomes part of the clay’s surface rather than decoration laid on top.

The curved shape rests naturally in the hand, with flowing marks of blue, green, and ochre glaze over a warm cream body. These patterns echo the shifting tones of the Israeli landscape: the deep blues of the Mediterranean, the green of fields of the North after rain, and the muted gold of desert earth under sunlight. All whimsically painted in the spirit of unbreakable Israeli joy.

Studio Botz works in small quantities to maintain quality and preserve a mindful approach to creation. When you bring one of their pieces into your home, you are helping sustain independent craftsmanship in Israel and directly supporting the artist behind it. Each mug is slightly different, carrying the trace of the potter’s hand and the spirit of the land where it was formed.
