The wide base and easy grip handle promise drink-in-hand comfort while the slightly tapered shape keeps your coffee warm. Durable enough for daily use and beautiful enough to display. Mix and match for a casually chic feel. 

To complete the collection, why not pair your mug with our handcrafted ceramic jugs and ceramic spoon rests.

Ceramic Mugs FAQs

What materials are your ceramic mugs made from?

Our ceramic mugs are handcrafted from stoneware clay and are glazed inside and out for an easy-to-clean surface.

Stoneware can be fired to high temperatures resulting in a more durable product which is less porous and absorptive. This makes our ceramics stronger and more resistant to cracking.

What sizes are the handmade ceramic mugs available in?

We offer the following sizes of handmade ceramic mugs:

- espresso (90ml)

- standard (300ml)

- pint (550ml)

How durable are the glazes and finishes? Can they go in the dishwasher?

All our products are food safe, featuring lead-free, cadmium-free glazes which are scratch resistant and ideal for everyday use. The glossy smooth finish makes cleaning super easy.

They are completely dishwasher safe, although handwashing is kinder and will preserve their quality and longevity. Harsh dishwasher detergents can dull glazes over many cycles and cause crazing (tiny cracks that aren't always visible to the naked eye).

What makes your ceramic mugs unique?

All my pieces start by throwing a form on the pottery wheel. As such, slight variations in shape and glaze tones reflect the handcrafted production methods. Styles range from modern to traditional, but all showcase beautiful craftsmanship.

Each glaze recipe has been formulated from scratch and is unique to me, meaning you won't find these exact finishes and colours anywhere else. At Katie L Thompson Designs, each piece is handcrafted and one-of-a-kind.

Can the ceramic mugs be used in the microwave or oven?

While our ceramic mugs can safely go in the microwave, we do not recommend using them in the oven or freezer due to the risk of thermal shock.

Do you have any coordinating sets or collections?

Yes, we offer many popular matching collections! Check out our Alpine Green Classic Set, Blush Pink Classic Set, and our newest addition, the Malachite Blue Rustic collection. Mix and match colours and sizes for a vibrant look.

Do the mugs feature a foot ring?

All our handmade ceramic mugs have a raised foot ring. This provides stability and elevation to help with heat dispersion and prevents bowls suctioning onto surfaces. Each foot ring is sanded smooth to prevent scratching of surfaces when in use.
