About the Valknut mug
The word “valknut” is a modern term derived from the Old Norse words “valr” (meaning “warrior killed in battle”) and “knut” (meaning “knot”). The symbol is known from Viking archaeological artifacts, such as stone carvings, artifacts including weapons, and burials.
Valknut is often associated with death, the underworld, and the afterlife. It has been found on stones and swords, and is believed to have served as a talisman or symbol to ensure warriors’ successful passage to Valhalla, a representation of paradise in Norse culture and mythology.
Valknut symbol, with its braided appearance, symbolizes the connection between life, death, and rebirth. It can serve as a mystical or religious symbol that connects the worlds of the living and the dead.
Valknut is often associated with the god Odin, who is considered the patron saint of fallen warriors and the lord of Valhalla. Odin was the personification of wisdom, war, and death, and the valknut could serve as a symbol of his protection or blessing. Among modern followers of Odin, tattoos depicting the valknut symbol are also common. If such a tattoo is made consciously, it emphasizes the individual’s belonging to the followers of the god Odin.

How it's handmade?
For Artglina it's very important to follow the ancient handmade eco friendly production technology that leads all the products to exceptional eye-catching design and quality resulted in lifelong product use. The technology that we strictly follow for all our products leads us to natural products as close as possible to original ancient pottery and can be represented by the following (5) five major steps:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| #1 | Products are created and dried within 2 weeks. |
| #2 | Firing at 960°C (1760°F) degrees for 12 hours and as a result, row clay turns into a ceramic. |
| #3 | Glaze firing 920°C (1688°F) - 980°C (1796°F) that take from several hours to an entire day. |
| #4 | Milk firing at a temperature of 300°C (572°F). The natural milk moisture evaporates and the milky fat clogs the ceramic pores. This step takes one more day. |
| #5 | Gnosis coating (a mixture of linseed oil + beeswax) fixes the milky layer and adds contrast to the product. This is considered the final major step that requires one more day. |
The creation of each product is a complex process the contains a number of steps and requires between 3 - 5 weeks before the product gets finished and can be sent to the customer. All the ingredients and materials that we use for the creation of products are natural and eco friendly.
