(ø = 8 cm, h = 16,5 cm, porcelain, gilding (18ct gold), white glaze)

This cup is not merely a utilitarian object; it is crafted with two purposes in mind – for enjoying a drink, and as an aesthetic, spiritual object in a space. It is rich in SYMBOLISM and spiritual significance.
The GOLDEN SUN stamped on its seal symbolises light, the golden cosmic egg, and the golden lingam. Across the great world civilisations, this motif has been used within astral traditions of creation to embody the life-giving source – the light and comfort represented by the celestial body.
The sun gives us light, warmth, life, and creative energy. For this reason, it symbolises freedom, life.... Yet we also know that you cannot stare directly at the sun. It thus also represents God – it is to be sensed and known rather than looked at. It signifies the centre around which all things revolve: the cosmic intelligence.
The sun has long been regarded as a source of energy and vitality. Its influence on human life has always been associated with fortune, health, and joie de vivre. The essence of the sun bestows quality and energy upon life. As the ruler of the astrological sign Leo, the sun is a symbol of power, energy, and all that pertains to life. The symbolism of the sun is also connected with spiritual development and the maturing of the human being, whom the sun enlightens with its golden colour. It expresses the harmony of life between the sky and the earth. In our time, the sun heralds the dawn of a golden age of humanity – a period in which we will once again recognise our nature as sun-like, as a divine, golden being.

The TWELVE FLUTES on the cup represent the "Dvanajstija” – the early Slavic, state forming social order dating back to the very origins of Slovenians. Dvanajstija was a board composed of 12 wise men chosen by the people. They gathered beneath the linden tree and sat upon selected stones known as "samci” (males). This chapter of Slovenian history is summarised by the 12 flutes around the upper part of the cup, which, besides their symbolism, also provide a firmer grip. Vertical fluting appears in many cultures; the best-known examples are the columns of antiquity. The grooves recall the traces of fingers. The palm of our hand is a vast store of energy, and the fingers are an extension of that energy. The symbolism continues with the number 3: the cup stands on three feet, which evoke both the Christian symbolism of the Holy Trinity as well as Triglav, Trimužjat or Tribožjat – the three persons in one God present in these lands long before the Common Era; namely, before Christianity. In its symbolic meaning this motif expresses strength, solidity, and the roots of the Slovenian people.

The golden sun stamped on the seal is more than a decorative element – it is an energy portal and holds a CERTIFICATE OF ENERGY INFLUENCE ON THE HUMAN ORGANISM, which signifies that contact with it produces subtle yet positive changes in one’s well-being and energy. The cup becomes a personal companion for rituals, meditation, or for drinking from – a reminder that light always comes from within.
