About Dorotea Coffee/Tea Mug, 16 Ounce, Assorted
Product Description Dorotea Ceramics is inspired by the beauty of nature and artist Carolina Silva’s connection to the outdoors. This connection translates into ceramic pieces that acknowledge the value of the handmade and the imperfect. The patterns, colors and irregularities of each piece are drawn from the observation of natural growth and a curiosity about the botanical world, where flowers search for light and harmony with joy. The work follows this peaceful search from the artists’ hands to its place on your table. This beautiful collection of dinnerware and accessories features organic, handmade-inspired shapes that have subtle pops of whimsical color. Crafted from high-quality stoneware, there may be slight imperfections or variations in design and dimensions. Finished by hand, each piece features a delicate, recessed floral pattern and is carefully hand-painted allowing for slight differences in the glaze that add to the artisanal beauty. The patterns, colors and irregularities of each piece are drawn from the observation of natural growth and a curiosity with the botanical world, where flowers search for light and harmony with joy.

Handmade, nature inspired, whimsical. How did you come up with the idea for this product? I wanted to apply my art to everyday objects. Pattern is a recurrent element in my artwork. At the time I was paying close attention to the way things grow in nature when not controlled by man. I wanted to translate this to the floral patterns in the tableware. I also wanted it to have the texture of an etching, add a tactile value to the products. What makes your product special? I think the fact that there is not only a functional intention but also an aesthetic intention. My beginnings making functional ceramics are very inspired by the Art and Crafts movement. In the words of William Morris: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." That motivation prevails in my creative process and hopefully shows in the product. Also the fact that there is a handmade element that doesn't aim for perfection but rather that each product is a result of human work and struggle. What has been the best part of your startup experience? All the new unexpected things I have had to learn, and I am still learning, along the process. Many times it is the challenges you face, having to be resourceful and true to your values what makes your work unique and different. Also, one of the most rewarding parts of my work is the contact with customers, the feedback I receive and knowing when the products enter their homes and lives and make them happy.
