I have slept upon the shores of lakes where loons live. I feel their call is universally one the sounds that pulls us into the great arms of life. Bringing us for one long, sweet moment completely into the ecosystem of sky, lake, tree, feather, and love.
This loon cup is very special to me for not only does the loon, with its rich call, pull me into belonging to nature, but it is deeply tied to the love of my family. This cup is dedicated to my sister who lives upon a small lake in the Adirondack's where a nesting pair of loons raise 1 to 2 brown fluffy dots into the stunning, slick black and white feathered beauties they become by summers end. Sisters live in a lake of their own, a little eco system of home and love-you-like-no-one-else-can. To my sister, with her daily loon reports and deep, unwavering love of family.
This cup is also dedicated to my Minnesota Family! Each summer of my childhood we lived for a brief moment upon a little island in a big Northern Minnesotan lake. The loon call threading its way through our family as we wove our lives together, helping us fall in love with each other anew each year.
Like prints of a painting, the cups that make up The Bowl Maker’s “Lucky Cup Line” are faithful ceramic reproductions of the artist’s original clay designs. Part poetry, part vessel, part illustration, part paint, part prop, part documentation, each piece is food, microwave, and dishwasher safe. Holds 6 ounces.
Measures 2.75" tall and 2.5" diameter.
Size: Medium
Useful Care Instructions:
The bottom of the cups is porous and will absorb water during washing. It is best to make sure it can dry upside down completely before putting away, thus allowing all the water to evaporate from the cup to keep it in pristine condition.
