Forest Rabbit Mug

Forest Rabbit Mug

Handcrafted Ceramic for Curiosity, Luck & Gentle Wonder

This whimsical mug is a quiet celebration of the forest’s secret places. Nestled among hand-sculpted toadstools and winding golden leaves, a curious white rabbit peeks out from the undergrowth – a gentle guardian of woodland wonder. The mug’s glaze blends deep emerald and soft mossy greens with dappled blue, echoing sunlight through leaves and twilight in the trees.

Symbolising intuition, agility, and good fortune, the rabbit has long been a beloved figure in Celtic lore, said to move between worlds and guide seekers to hidden truths. The toadstools add a touch of fae magic – portals in folklore to the Otherworld, where mystery and mischief meet.

Whether filled with forest-foraged tea or a comforting morning brew, this mug invites you to pause, listen, and rediscover the magic in small things.

Forest Rabbit Folklore

In Celtic lore, the rabbit (or hare) is no ordinary creature. Said to be a messenger between the human world and the Otherworld, the rabbit was believed to vanish into unseen realms and return with quiet wisdom. Sacred to the moon and often linked with goddesses like Eostre and Cerridwen, this gentle guardian symbolised intuition, rebirth, and hidden magic.

To meet a rabbit in the forest was a sign to trust your instincts, move softly, and stay open to wonder.

Let this little white rabbit, nestled among toadstools and leaves, remind you that the most magical paths are often found when we follow curiosity, not logic.

These items are handmade at every stage in the making process and so each is unique. From creating the form, to hand making each batch of glaze, to hand carving and hand painting the designs, many variances are found at each stage of the process. Each piece is mindfully created in my studio over a number of weeks, with each finished piece having its own subtle differences. That is the beauty of handmade. These photos are a representation of the piece from this collection you will receive.
