The story

Vintage, but not a copy of anyone’s china. The color came from a letter we found and left alone: cream paper, a rose stamp that had already faded, no postmark.

The mug is slightly wonky at the lip. Letters that never leave are slightly wonky too. They mean something and then they wait.

If you take it home, you are not buying the letter. You are buying the decision to let a small mystery stay shut.

Sit with these too

We did not buy the bowl. The splash on this mug is someone else's brush, one stroke and done.

A bull and rider still in the air, a rope that never quite lands, and a crackle glaze that has already lived somewhere else.
