Individually wheel-thrown stoneware mug featuring an organic tactile surface, glazed in warm porcelain white with subtle iron speckles.
Crafted in our Portland studio, this ceramic piece is hand-thrown on the wheel using high-fired stoneware. Its generous handle is pulled by hand directly from the vessel wall, ensuring perfect ergonomic balance in your palm.
The interior is sealed with a smooth, glossy satin glaze that prevents staining from coffee, matcha, or herbal teas. The exterior retains the natural, subtle tooth of the raw earthen clay for a tactile, grounding ritual every time you hold it.
Because each piece is made by human hands, slight variations in glaze depth, weight, and rim contour make your piece entirely one-of-a-kind.
Formulated in-house from feldspar, wood ash, and raw minerals. 100% lead-free, cadmium-free, and food certified.
