Sgraffito Stoneware Mug – Black and Ivory Carved Design

This wheel-thrown stoneware mug was created by Kim Filiaggi, featuring her signature hand-carved sgraffito surface design. The exterior is coated in a rich black underglaze, then carved to reveal intricate patterns, organic linework, and layered textures beneath. Every carved mark is made by hand, giving this mug a bold graphic presence and a one-of-a-kind character.

The interior is glazed in a smooth ivory finish—clean, simple, and comfortable for everyday use. This mug combines craftsmanship, durability, and expressive design; a beautiful example of how Kim brings everyday ceramics, elevated to life.
