Hand‑Painted Thistle Goblet — Botanical Scottish Motif

A miniature artwork inspired by the wild thistle — Scotland’s most iconic botanical symbol. This goblet is hand‑thrown in the studio and painted at my home in Stoke-on-Trent slowly and intentionally using fine brushwork in purple, green, and black. The thistle motif wraps around the form with delicate linework, creating a piece that feels both traditional and contemporary.

The glossy glaze enhances every detail, while the embossed JB maker’s mark adds authenticity and identity. This piece is part of my Signature Small collection — premium small‑batch ceramics that carry strong storytelling and cultural resonance.
