Every flower tells an Irish story

Inspired by the wild beauty of Ireland and the quiet rituals that shape our lives. Each range gathers a treasured Irish wildflower and a handful of words, in English and in Irish, chosen to encourage reflection, hope and connection.

Every collection carries meaning. Every cup reveals a hidden reminder.

Words within

Every piece carries a word within. In Irish and in English.

The Word Motifs Collection

Five ranges. Five flowers. Five quiet reminders.

A note from the designer

The act of making tea can be a meditation

Each cup invites you to slow down and notice what unfolds, the warmth, the quiet breath, and, as tea leaves the cup, the hidden design revealed.

Whether shared with another or savoured in solitude, may they bring you calm, connection, and a quiet moment of grace.

With warmth and gratitude,
Michele Gallen
