The Ichendorf Vegetables mug chili pepper is a cheerful and expressive piece that brings a touch of warmth to everyday routines. Designed by Alessandra Baldereschi, it reinterprets a simple glass mug through the spirited presence of a tiny red chili pepper. This small decorative detail seems to float inside the transparent surface, giving the mug a playful personality. When paired with slender pieces from the Ichendorf collection, it creates lively contrasts between volumes, silhouettes and colours.

A handmade mug with gentle character

Formed in handmade and lampworked borosilicate glass, the Vegetables mug reflects the meticulous craftsmanship that defines the entire Vegetables collection. Flame-working techniques shape its rounded body, handle and the delicate chili pepper with precision, resulting in a lightweight yet sturdy object. Borosilicate glass ensures durability and clarity, making the mug suitable for both hot and cold drinks. Though dishwasher safe at low temperatures, the transparency and handmade nature encourage a thoughtful gesture when handling it, adding to the pleasant ritual of daily use.

A playful nod to vegetable forms

The little chili pepper enclosed within the glass transforms the mug into a charming everyday companion. Its organic silhouette adds movement and colour, creating a joyful contrast with the minimalist architecture of the cup. This interplay between whimsy and simplicity is a hallmark of Alessandra Baldereschi design, where vegetable motifs become lighthearted, poetic gestures. The mug’s décor is subtle enough to feel timeless, yet expressive enough to bring personality to morning coffee, afternoon tea or any warm drink enjoyed throughout the day.

Its transparency allows the contents to become part of the visual composition: the colour of a tea, the warmth of coffee or even a simple glass of water interacts gently with the red accent at the base. This quality makes the mug easy to integrate in different interior styles, from minimalist kitchens to colorful table settings. Whether combined with bowls from the Vegetables line or placed beside clear Ichendorf Teapots, it contributes to a table arrangement that feels thoughtful and quietly playful.

A small treasure for daily moments

Though decorative in spirit, the Vegetables mug remains practical and comfortable to hold, like all Ichendorf Cups & Mugs. The round handle offers a steady grip, and the borosilicate structure ensures it stays pleasant in the hand regardless of temperature. Each mug carries tiny variations that reveal its handmade origin, making it an appealing choice for those who appreciate modern transparent mug design with an artistic twist. Whether chosen for personal use or gifted as a collectible item, this designer glass mug brings a warm and humorous presence to daily rituals.
