A unique ammonite mug inspired by fossil spirals, cast glass, and ocean blues — a coastal art coffee cup and a thoughtful gift for ocean lovers. For years I’ve been fascinated by ammonites and the spiral forms that echo the hidden mathematics of nature. This piece began as an experiment — using recycled glass fragments from my studio, cast randomly into a circular form. Instinctively, I began to shape and arrange them into a spiral, an echo of the ammonite form I have always loved. As the kiln revealed its secrets, the piece transformed: fragments fused into layers that carried the fossil-like quality I was searching for. With the application of traditional stained glass paint and another firing, the ammonite form truly came through. I chose to surround it with a framework of circular glass — ocean blues, sea greens, and a froth of white. The ammonite floats as if suspended in water, carrying the weight of both history and evolution. There will only ever be one original, which now rests in a window overlooking the English ocean. But this mug carries its story forward — a way to bring the timeless patterns of nature into your everyday moments, from your morning coffee to a quiet afternoon tea.

A: Sometimes Etsy displays UK shipping prices first because my shop is based in the UK. Don’t worry — once you enter your postcode at checkout, Etsy automatically updates the price to your local shipping rate. All orders are produced and shipped locally within your region (UK, USA, or Australia) through my print partners, so you’ll always pay standard local shipping and enjoy faster delivery.

My print partner just needs photos to verify the issue, and I’ll arrange a replacement for you. Q: Can I cancel my order? A: Orders may be cancelled within 2 hours of purchase.
