The Dora Maar Mug features a glossy porcelain construction adorned with gold gilding that highlights a sculpted facial relief across its surface. Hand-thrown and modelled with geometric patterns substituted by figurative body parts — including lips and facial features — the piece draws on surrealist artistic tradition. Subversive signs and symbols are worked into the design alongside the portrait, adding layered visual detail to the glittering finish.
Porcelain Reverie. Graffitied with glittering gold, our Gilded Dora Maar Mug gives good face from every angle, its glossy finish highlighting the muse's flawless features and subversive signs and symbols adding to the surrealism. Inspired by Dora Maar, the French photographer, poet, and painter also known as Pablo Picasso's lover and muse. Jonathan sculpts and throws the models for our Muse pottery and then substitutes our signature geometric relief patterns with body parts-aces, breasts, lips-to create a surreal style. Pieces are inspired by our favorite artists' muses.
