'Aegean' mug, gold

L'Objet's 'Aegean' collection is a Greco-Roman nod to the ancient world. Taking its name from the Greek word 'aiges', meaning 'waves', the porcelain tableware pieces in the collection feature undulating motifs or reflect the ornate detailing associated with that period — here, an elaborately decorative handle finished in 24 carat gold punctuates a simple white mug. The result is an elegant series that harks to the past, but designed for contemporary tables.
