Mysterious Tasmanian Tiger Mug 500ml
Inspired by the elusive thylacine, the Mysterious Tasmanian Tiger Mug combines Australian natural history with distinctive handcrafted ceramic design. Its rich Burnt Sienna glaze features earthy orange tones, soft milky speckles and naturally reactive drips inspired by the red landscapes of the Australian outback. The sculpted thylacine figure is based on taxidermy specimens displayed at Melbourne Museum and is presented in relief on a small unglazed ceramic tile. Each mug is formed and finished by hand, with the glaze shifting naturally during firing to create subtle variations that make every piece unique.
