Custom Espresso Cups - OWO Handmade Ceramics & Pottery

May 11,2024

This beautiful sea-inspired collection was exclusively designed for a private client from Qatar. Commissioned to create giveaways for a commemorative party with 100+ guests, we designed a unique series of custom espresso cups specifically for this occasion. We wanted to create beautiful handmade cups that guests would incorporate in their daily life, thereby keeping the memory of this special date alive. With the intend of honoring the celebrant we chose her as our muse and designed a ceramic cup collection inspired by her name: Pearl. Guided by this intention, we dove into the depths of 19th-century scientific illustrations and scrutinized an Iranian medieval manuscript known as a bestiary in seek of profound inspiration from their portrayals of aquatic fauna. Thus, we came up with four customized espresso cup designs that evoke different aspects of sea life: the sea waves' rhythm, the starfish’s allure, the seaweed's ethereal.
