Seconds Artichoke 1/2 Pint Mug
An artichoke is like a botanical sculpture, standing firmly upright on its stalk with
overlapping bracts in a compact geometry, crowned with a purple plume – as depicted in detail on this Artichoke 1/2 Pint Mug. We decided to create three mugs in homage to the talented botanical illustrators of the 18th and 19th centuries: the ""golden age"" of botanical illustration. The drawings served as scientific documentation and artistic appreciation, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of the subject matter.
As well as an artichoke, we have other tea and coffee mugs that celebrate such a traditional means of illustration: Pineapple and Tulip.

What is a Second?
All our pottery is carefully inspected before it leaves the factory. An item is classified as a 'Second' if there is a slight fault in the finish, decoration or the shape. These faults are not structural and each piece will still function as intended. Most faults are marked with a black line which will be visible when your item arrives but washes off with a damp cloth.
