🍯 Design & Details
I included this mug because it features the Tuscany pattern by Certified International, designed by artist Pamela Gladding. Gladding is a U.S.-born artist based in Pennsylvania whose work is inspired by her own gardens, along with the birds and bees that visit them. She is a graduate of the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, bringing formal artistic training into functional, everyday design.
The mug is made of hand-painted ceramic and features an embossed ring pattern accented with purple and red grapes, green leaves, and a coordinating green rim. Because of the raised detailing and hand-painted finish, the design has depth and texture that elevate it beyond mass-produced drinkware.
The Tuscany pattern is discontinued, which adds to its appeal for collectors who value artist-designed pieces no longer in active production. The mug is microwave and dishwasher safe, balancing beauty with practicality.
🎁 A Thoughtful Gift Idea
Certified International Tuscany Pamela Gladding Mug makes a thoughtful gift for lovers of cozy kitchen décor, vineyard-inspired design, or artist-created ceramics. It works well as a daily coffee mug, part of a warm table setting, or as a replacement piece for someone completing a Tuscany collection.
