“Forget not bees in winter, though they sleep.
For winter's big with summer in her womb…"

- The Bee Master, by Victoria Sackville-West

This special design debuted in winter 2021: the Bees in Winter mugs. They were such a hit that we have had to make more. They are works of art, and each one is unique. They have similar details, but in fluid arrangement: bees, ladybugs, honeycomb texture, multiple styles of piped flowers, pearls, and piped scrollwork to tie it all together. Oh, and lusters!! Dripping gold on the rim and mother of pearl accents elevate these mug to something special.

Mugs and cups are wheelthrown from porcelain clay and glazed in Buttercream, with accents of Petal, Violet, Spring Pea and Aqua. The gold and mother of pearl lusters mean that these pieces are handwash only, and are not safe for microwave use.

Mugs have a handle and are a little bigger than our regular mug, with a defined waist and enhanced curves. They hold about 14 oz. Cups do not have a handle and hold about 8 oz.
