Handmade Pottery Mug
A handmade pottery mug brings warmth and character to everyday. Each piece is crafted by hand on the wheel and finished individually, so no two mugs are exactly alike. Variations in shape, glaze, and texture are part of the appeal—evidence of the potter’s touch and the kiln’s unique influence.
Key features
Material: Stoneware , fired to high temperatures for durability and chip resistance.
Size: Typically 10–16 ounces; sizes vary to suit coffee, tea, or larger lattes.
Handle: Ergonomically shaped for comfortable grip; often sculpted to balance weight and feel.
Glaze: Food-safe glazes in matte, satin, or glossy finishes. Glaze pooling and subtle color shifts are natural characteristics.
Base: show the clay body and prevent sticking during firing.
Care and use
Dishwasher: Many stoneware mugs are dishwasher-safe, but handwashing extends the life of glazes and preserves delicate details.
Microwave: Safe for microwave use when glazes and clay body are formulated for thermal resistance; avoid sudden temperature changes (thermal shock).
Stains: Rinse soon after use to prevent tea or coffee staining. Mild baking soda paste can remove stubborn marks.
Maintenance: Avoid dropping or banging against hard surfaces; inspect for hairline cracks and discontinue use if moisture seeps through.
Why choose handmade
Durability: Properly fired stoneware withstands daily use and ages gracefully.
Uniqueness: Subtle variations make each mug a one-of-a-kind object.
Connection: Handmade pieces add a tactile, human element to routines, supporting artisans and traditional craft.
Giftability: A handmade mug is practical and personal
A handmade pottery mug is both functional and expressive—designed to be used daily while bringing a subtle aesthetic pleasure to morning coffee, afternoon tea, or any moment worth savoring.
