This Comfort-style mug is glazed in callais-blue, the stone of ancient talismans believed to provide good health and protection. It captures the marriage of spirit (blue) and body (green), joined together as one, with inclusions often found in precious stones, which symbolize the beauty of imperfection. The noble colors echo down great halls of Roman estates, inspired by the union of heaven and earth in Michelangelo’s sky-blue paintings. A gold overlay forms the bridge between light and the illuminated, as random colors decorate the inside with a wandering imagination, essential to the master’s idyllic.

Each mug is handmade with 18k gold overlay. They are individually crafted at the Maiuri studio as one-of-a-kind pieces, with variations in glaze, color, and artistic impression. The images provided are representative of and comparably similar to the wares available for purchase.
