This wonderful mug showcases fish and some delicately scattered flowers. Fish symbolize fertility while flowers stand for ongoing inventiveness, ability of openness to languages of form, harmony and renewed growth. Together they make a lovely, tranquil image. The blue rimmed pattern is typical of Armenian art. Green is known to represent growth and abundance.

This wonderful mug is wonderful to drink a steaming hot drink from and can serve as a decorative piece.

Bring a touch of art, history, culture and Jerusalem to someone's home with this lovely piece.

Note: Armenian ceramics are delicate and should be treated with care. Each piece is individually hand made with the ancient skill of mixing and shaping clay and water and then placing the object in an oven or kiln at a temperature of 1000°C until it hardens. The piece is then beautifully hand painted with metallic and oxidized paint, maintaining a natural color and then placed again in the oven at the same temperature. The finishing touch is one of fine glazing.
