At Clayley Ceramics, I craft ocean-inspired while practicing ethics of conservation, however this series was inspired by a conservation story that touched the masses. This Black Seadevil mug is inspired by a tale of an anglerfish swimming towards the sun, embodying resilience and aspiration. Each sip from this mug tells a story of unwavering determination, reminding you to pursue your dreams with passion and willing sacrifice. Sustainable and evocative, it’s more than just a mug; it’s a testament to the strength of the spirit. Embrace the spirit of the sea and make a meaningful addition to your collection.
This Seadevil will "swim" towards the surface as you drink from it.

All items in the Seconds Sale are marked down and may contain various defects that do not affect the safety or functionality of the pieces. These items are often one-of-a-kinds that are a previous iteration during the research phase for more permanent designs.
This mug is discounted because the rim didn't maintain it's round form during the firing and the shape from the top got a little wonky. It does not affect the functionality of the mug.
