DreiKlang (mug) - german words

Dear friend,

There are things we use routinely, almost unconsciously. And then there are things that speak to us. They almost gently force us to pause, even if only for the moment of a coffee.

This mug is such a "speaking object."

--- An Invitation to Mindfulness ---

You see it immediately: It is unusual. It doesn’t have one handle; it has three. In my view, it does not want to be grabbed carelessly. Rather, it invites your hands to embrace it consciously, perhaps with both hands. It gifts you a moment of mindfulness and brings you back into the Here and Now.

--- The Material Reflection of a Mystery ---

This shape is no coincidence. It is the conscious material reflection of the most central mystery of our faith: the Holy Trinity. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – three persons, inseparably connected in unity. The mug is this sermon: Three handles, three sides, one vessel.

--- When Form and Content Merge ---

This form is strong, yet it is filled with content. On the three surfaces, you will find those words that Paul left us as a foundation in the Hymn of Love (1 Cor 13): Faith, Love, Hope (or in the German wording: Glaube, Liebe, Hoffnung).

And here, as I find, is where the wonderful happens: Form (the Trinity) and content (the virtues) merge. It is the reassurance that from the Triune God flows that strength which we need for life. The faith, the love, and the hope.

--- A Profound Gift (Also to Yourself) ---

This mug is not a silent companion. No: It provokes with questions and is a conversation starter about what moves us in our innermost depths.

Exactly for this reason, it is one of the most profound gifts one can give. For a baptism, a confirmation, a wedding, or as a comforter in times when hope wavers.

--- A Faithful Companion for Everyday Life ---

For all its symbolism: This mug is meant to live. It is a companion in everyday life, rather than just standing in the cupboard. It should remind you, every day.

And because it should (and must!) be a faithful everyday companion, it is robust. It has a quite normal capacity for your coffee or tea and is, of course, dishwasher safe ;-).

Choose the variant that speaks most to your soul:

- German (this mug): With the German words "Glaube", "Liebe", "Hoffnung"
    
- English: With the English words "Faith", "Love", "Hope"
    

Warmly,
