Know the Artist
The artist, Kalabati Majumdar has created thoughtful depictions of the interconnectedness between coffee producers, coffee farms and the ecosystem. These enamel coffee mugs are our first foray into the world of 'merchandise' but perhaps more importantly, a daily reminder we need to be mindful of our footsteps and footprints on the natural world...and that change is possible, one cup at a time.
Know Enamel
This enamel coffee mug is made of solid iron, which has then been subjected to the ancient process of enamelling. An interesting historical note to this is that enamelling actually dates as far back as the Mesopotamian civilisation and was a technique developed for jewellery.
This mug holds 350 ml or so of liquid and is not safe for microwave or dishwasher use. Although this mug is sturdy and it will not shatter into pieces if dropped, it will show small cracks in the enamel coat from repeated damage.
These are handmade, each enamel mug is slightly different.
