Primal Handcrafted Mugs

Celebrate the Natural Elements with Earth-Loving Element Cups

Get in touch with nature and the simpler things in life while using the rustic line of Element Cups handcrafted by design duo Eric Hendrick and Noelle Van Hendrick.

A set of four very individual mugs, the collection celebrates the four basic elements that were first identified by ancient and wise scholars. Earth, air, fire and water are all represented by the most rudimentary of designs, quite in the style of a caveman as though they were taken from drawings seen on the insides of cave walls.

Each of the Element Cups incorporates a "comfy nudge," as the product page explains it, a place where your thumb can rest so that the mugs feel comfortable when holding them in your hands.
