Hand-Carved Baltic Amber Teacup // 153 Grams

This exquisitely detailed cup is entirely and intricately hand-carved out of one solid 153-gram piece of gorgeously-colored Baltic amber from Ukraine. This carved 34 to 55 million year specimen varies in clarity from a more opaque and swirled butterscotch color to incredible, glass-clear translucency in the handle. The artist has realized incredible detail, with flowers, dragonflies, and fish with individually-carved scales in relief against the sides of the cup, these carvings further enhanced by the skin of the amber having been carefully left on and carved around in places for pops of deeper amber color over the carved areas. A decorative ring carefully hewn out of the same single piece of exquisite-quality amber dangles from the front of the cup.
