Venus Mugs

Kat nearly dropped her tea the first time she realized what she was holding.

She had reached into the cupboard for a mug and found herself face-to-face with a sculptural Venus cup in clay. Ysir, naturally, had insisted on bringing them home, declaring them a celebration of beauty, softness, humor, and form. Soltas only smirked, entirely at ease. Kat, meanwhile, has never quite recovered from accidentally grabbing one before coffee.

Venus Mugs are handmade stoneware cups from Less is More Studios in rural Vermont, where Michelle Silverstein creates functional ceramics with exposed clay, smooth glaze, sculptural form, and a deep appreciation for the human body as art.

Each mug is shaped as a body-positive celebration of feminine form: playful, warm, earthy, and just a little bit bold. Use one for coffee, tea, cocoa, desk-side rituals, bedside water, or as a small planter or sculptural shelf piece when it is off duty.

For body-positive gifts, artisan mug collectors, ceramic lovers, cottage kitchens, cozy desks, doulas, mothers, sisters, friends, and anyone who believes the morning cup should have personality.
