Dinnerware Celadon $20 to $40

I bought this fun and whimsical mug for an auction to raise money for an elephant sanctuary. How perfect! I try to find unique items that are elephant themed and that supporters can’t find at big box stores. And everyone loved this much and a bidding war erupted! I love Penpan’s work and like supporting artisans.

Want something unique based on age-old ceramic celadon traditions that will put a smile on your face every time you have your tea or coffee? Then you’ve gotta grab this whimsical elephant cup and saucer from the amazing Penpan. It will delight your guests as they use the elephant trunk to sip their morning joe. It is beautifully made by an artisan whose work I’ve bought over and over to sell in a yearly auction for an elephant sanctuary. Her work is always a big hit and sets off bidding wars, helping to save and care for rescued abused elephants. Poetic justice!

I fell in love with this mug. The contrast between the naked elephant and glazed surround is so unique and whimsical, along with the trunk being the handle. I bought it for a large auction to help raise money for an elephant sanctuary and everyone went crazy for it…there was a bidding war!!! I love Penpan’s work and clearly so do our supporters. I would rather support artisans & offer something unique rather than buy something from a big box store.
