Handmade Ceramic Mugs

Handmade ceramic mugs are designed to be used every day, from the first coffee of the morning to a quiet cup of tea later in the day. Each mug is wheel thrown and glazed by hand in a Yorkshire studio, creating durable stoneware pottery with subtle variations in form and glaze. These small differences are part of the handmade process and give every mug its own character.

Choose from the following mug shapes

  • Umina

    A balanced everyday mug with a comfortable handle and generous capacity for coffee or tea.

  • Garcia

    A gentle curved base paired with straight upper walls that give it a clean, modern shape.

  • Spiral

    The mug that you can hug. The ridges create a natural place for your fingers to rest.

  • Cappuccino

    A larger, wider mug designed to comfortably hold a frothy cappuccino or a rich hot chocolate.

Made in small batches

Mugs are made in small batches throughout the year rather than large production runs. Often there are only a few pieces of each glaze and shape available at a time. Once a particular combination has sold out it may not return again, which keeps the collection evolving.

Choosing your favourite mug

Choosing a new favourite mug often comes down to the small details. The weight in the hand, the curve of the rim and the shape of the handle all influence how it feels to use each day. Handmade mugs offer something slightly different from mass-produced cups because each one is shaped individually on the pottery wheel. When choosing a mug, think about the size you prefer for coffee or tea and the form that feels most comfortable to hold. I have a few mug shapes for you to choose from.
