About this Product
These handmade cups bring a touch of the cosmos to your daily sip. The upper band features golden suns with radiant faces, crescent moons, and twinkling stars dancing across a deep midnight-blue sky. Below, the body is wrapped in a warm maroon glaze textured with neat rows of circular impressions, adding a satisfying tactile grip. Perfect for coffee, tea, or any beverage you want to enjoy under the stars — even if you’re indoors.

Meet the Maker
Hi, I’m Paula Bowers! I’ve been creating pottery for over 12 years, drawing inspiration from the rich history of South Carolina ceramics, the natural beauty of our family farm, and the music that moves me.
My work is all about joy—whimsical, functional pieces designed to be used and loved every day, yet crafted with the care and quality to last a lifetime.
How it’s Made
Each cup is hand-built from stoneware clay and shaped for comfort in the hand. The top section is stamped with detailed celestial motifs, then hand-painted with underglazes in sunny golds, soft whites, and rich yellows against a cobalt background. The lower portion is impressed with a repeating circle texture and coated in a maroon glaze that settles beautifully in the recesses. After a bisque firing, the piece is glazed and high-fired above 2200°F, making it food-safe, dishwasher safe, and sturdy enough for everyday use.
