The Tantura Hug Mug is named after the coastal Palestinian village of Tantura, known for its warm, shallow, clear waters. One side holds the word Palestine (or Love) in Arabic, the other with a traditional cross‑stitch motif inspired by Tatreez embroidery. Each Hug Mug is shaped to rest comfortably between the hands. Waters of Palestine is a collection inspired by Palestinian rivers, lakes, and seas.
The mugs are handcrafted and each piece is different from another, no 2 are alike, the glazes differ from one firing to another and that's the beauty of hand made. They are matte and speckled from the outside, and glazed from inside, which adds a beautiful surprising contrast.
Tantura village rested between land and sea, shaped by salt air and tide. Its people lived by the rhythm of the Mediterranean. In 1948, the village was ethnically cleansed it was fully destroyed. Tantura endures in memory, where the sea still carries its name and the shoreline holds what was once lived.
