Gilded Muse Dora Maar Mug | Jonathan adler

Porcelain Reverie.

Graffitied with glittering gold, our Gilded Dora Maar Mug gives good face from every angle, its glossy finish highlighting the muse’s flawless features and subversive signs and symbols adding to the surrealism. Inspired by Dora Maar, the French photographer, poet, and painter also known as Pablo Picasso’s lover and muse.

Jonathan sculpts and throws the models for our Muse pottery and then substitutes our signature geometric relief patterns with body parts—aces, breasts, lips—to create a surreal style. Pieces are inspired by our favorite artists’ muses.
