Each cup by GUNIA Project is more than a functional object – it’s a small work of art. Crafted in Ukraine, these pieces blend everyday comfort with artistic expression. Every curve, glaze, and brushstroke carries the warmth of the maker’s hand and the legacy of craftsmanship passed down through generations. Drawing inspiration from Ukrainian folklore and contemporary design, GUNIA transforms the familiar shape of a ceramic cup into something poetic – a bridge between art and daily life.
Why Choose GUNIA’s Handmade Ceramic Cups
GUNIA’s handmade ceramic cups are created in the brand’s own studio in Ukraine, where artisans work with care and precision at every stage – from shaping the clay to applying fine gold accents. Each designer cup reflects the brand’s philosophy: preserving traditional techniques while reinterpreting them through a modern lens.
Behind every motif lies a story – floral patterns inspired by embroidery, mythological symbols from folk tales, or geometric compositions reminiscent of ancient tiles. These aren’t simply decorative cups but expressions of cultural heritage captured in a tangible, timeless form.
Made from natural materials, GUNIA’s ceramic pieces are durable yet refined, pleasantly tactile, and balanced in form. They hold warmth beautifully, turning every sip – morning coffee or evening tea – into an intimate ritual. Over time, each piece becomes part of your personal routine, connecting you to the artistry of Ukrainian craftsmanship.
Bbroader ceramics by GUNIA collection also includes bowls, plates, vases, and decorative objects that share the same aesthetic vision – a harmony of utility, beauty, and story.
How to Choose Your Perfect Ceramic Cup
The right cup can shape the mood of your day. When selecting yours, think not only about its function but also its feeling – how it rests in your hand, how it catches the light, and what story it tells.
- Shape and size - choose a larger mug for morning rituals or a smaller cup for espresso moments. Sculptural handles or cup on small legs add personality to the table.
- Design - opt for minimalist forms or richly ornamented pieces; each handcrafted cup carries its own symbolism.
- Color and texture - smooth ivory glazes, soft matte finishes, or touches of gold reflect different moods and occasions.
- Purpose - whether for daily use or as an artistic accent in your interior, these unique cups fit naturally into any space.
Each GUNIA collection offers a variety of forms – from delicate espresso cups to statement mugs designed for leisurely breakfasts or afternoon tea. Some echo the elegance of museum ceramics, while others feel playful and modern. This diversity makes it easy to mix shapes and patterns, creating a set that feels personal rather than uniform.
If you value ritual, look for tactile details - a textured glaze, sculpted rim, or hand-painted ornament. These subtle features deepen the sensory experience and turn each use into a moment of quiet appreciation.
A GUNIA ceramic cup isn’t simply chosen – it’s experienced. The tactile surface, the weight, the gentle imperfection of a brush line – all invite a slower, more mindful rhythm of living.
