Hammershøi Summer Mug 33 cl summer berries - Becher & Tassen

With Hammershøi Summer, you can almost feel the sun’s rays and warm summer breeze as you set the table for coffee and cakes on the terrace, balcony or at the holiday cottage. The series is inspired by the fairytale shapes, colours and feelings of Danish summer, and the proud sunflower and energetic swallow adorn the mug, which holds 33 cl and is perfect for tea or coffee – whether you enjoy it in peace on an early summer morning or with the summer house full of guests round for coffee. If you already have pieces in the Hammershøi Summer series, the mug makes a beautiful addition to the other summer berry or forget-me-not themes, completing a happy and cosy summer vibe on the table, while you enjoy the authentic nostalgia of Kähler’s handmade design traditions. The sunflower is immortalised on the mug in different ways, enabling you to sense the movement it goes through during the day: The open flower stands towards the sun from the early morning and moves during the day to catch as much sun as possible. At the end of the day, the sunflower turns towards the west. Then, during the night, it turns towards the east and waits patiently for the first rays of sun to return. The motifs are made by artist Rikke Jacobsen on the Hammershøi tableware's existing pieces designed by Hans-Christian Bauer.
