Casa De Folklore Sitar Curved Mug Indigo Blue

Casa De Folklore Sitar Curved Mug Indigo Blue.

The Sitar Curved Mug in Indigo Blue is a beautifully sculptural piece of traditional Romanian pottery, handmade in Horezu using time-honoured techniques. Its gently curved form sits comfortably in the hand, while the deep indigo glaze and hand-painted detailing give it a quiet, expressive character.

Perfect for morning coffee or slow afternoon tea, it brings a sense of ritual and craftsmanship to everyday moments. Each mug is entirely unique, with subtle variations that reflect its handmade nature.

What We Love

We love the soft, curved shape, it feels considered and comforting to hold. The indigo tone is rich and grounding, adding depth without overpowering, making it easy to pair with other ceramics.

It’s a piece that feels both functional and special, something you’ll reach for daily.

From The Maker

Handcrafted in Vâlcea County, Romania, this mug is made by artisans who have practised Horezu pottery since childhood. Working from their home atelier, each piece is shaped on a traditional kick wheel and decorated by hand.

Using natural pigments made from local minerals and clays, the decoration is applied through a traditional technique known as “jirăvirea”, using tools such as cow horns and fine wooden sticks. Each piece carries generations of knowledge, care and Romanian cultural heritage.
