Item details

This lovely mug has the reminder 'Hiraeth' on one side and the Welsh Dragon encased in a heart on the other -

"Hiraeth is a Welsh word that has no direct English translation. The University of Wales, Lampeter attempts to define it as homesickness tinged with grief or sadness over the lost or departed. It is a mix of longing, yearning, nostalgia, wistfulness, or an earnest desire for the Wales of the past."
" Hiraeth is a longing for one's homeland, but it's not mere homesickness. It's an expression of the bond one feels with one's home country when one is away from it.
As soon as I step over the border into Wales my hiraeth evaporates. I am home."

Maybe it's you or your husband, wife, Mum or Dad, sister, brother, son or daughter, best friend, . . . . . . . . . . the list of Welsh away from Wales that suffer are endless!

It has the word 'Hiraeth' stamped into raised clay on the side of the mug.

I threw this mug on the potter's wheel using a buff stoneware clay. I then turned the base and added the handle and decoration before bisque firing the mug. I glazed it using a lovely green grey with a white that is very slightly flecked on the inside and refired to 1240C stoneware making it strong and durable.

Approximately
Height: 10 cm

My mugs may be all different but they look gorgeous as a family.

I sign my pieces with the initials REJM. My parents gave me a long name and then called my by my last!

We all have our favourite mugs. I even have a favourite mug for coffee, another for tea and another for peppermint tea. People can be quite protective over their mugs too.

I wanted to make a range of mugs for everyone. All of us are different, all of us are special - so are my mugs.

Please Note .... Each of my mugs is handthrown on the wheel and then hand glazed so each is slightly different making each one unique. You would receive a mug very similar to the one in the photo but may have little differences where the glazes have collected differently or the letter toasted in a slightly different way. Each one will be beautiful.
