Il Buco Vita, The Assisi Collection | Tea mug

Forget postcards from Italy -- consider this your crisp invitation to the Italian Riviera. A dazzling synthesis of subtle design and sheer moonlight glaze, this tea mug from Il Buco's signature Assisi collection is pitched using the same rare, mineral-rich black clay used in building the Etruscan bathhouses. With its expressive vellum-like finish, you might find yourself occasionally sipping your morning brew with the sun-drenched cliffs at Portofino.

Each piece is made by hand and so retains its own expressive particularities and imperfections, part of the beauty of the line.
