The Ichendorf Desert Plant mug with cactus, created by Alessandra Baldereschi for Ichendorf, turns the simple act of enjoying tea or coffee into an experience of pure design. Entirely handmade in borosilicate glass and shaped through lampworking, each mug features a small, sculptural cactus blooming at its core: a poetic nod to nature’s resilience and the sunlit elegance of desert landscapes. Transparent, light, and perfectly balanced, it captures the union between craftsmanship and creativity that defines Ichendorf’s glass art.
