Swan, Cocoon, and Drum are slab-built mug templates for potters working without a wheel. Each one has its own handle silhouette and body shape, from Swan's looping curve to Cocoon's tapered flare to Drum's sturdy footed base. Each shape traces its lineage to an ancient drinking cup in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, spanning a thousand years and two civilizations, from Bronze Age Crete to Archaic Greece.

Swan (~12 oz) · Cocoon (~8 oz) · Drum (~12 oz)
