This vibrant and artistic piece is created by Dan Caplan. It features a striking design with a rich, glossy red interior and a textured exterior that resembles a pattern of overlapping scales or pinecones in shades of blue, pink, and purple. The handle also displays a similar color scheme, blending seamlessly with the mug’s overall aesthetic. This unique design is characteristic of Caplan’s work, reflecting a blend of nature-inspired patterns and vivid colors
