Bamboo Line Stripe Mug
Description
Wei Sun’s ceramic work is a fusion of Asian ceramics culture from his native region and the North Carolina pottery tradition from his adopted home. His creations reflect a harmonious blend of aesthetics and utility. Sun maintains that every facet of a pot or mug, from its shape and form to its decoration, glaze, and function, plays a vital role. In his view, each element contributes equally to the final piece, neither overshadowing nor underplaying the other.
Please Note: Each mug is individually hand-thrown and painted. Slight variations should be expected and embraced.
