Is this the exact mug I will receive?

Yes. This is a one-of-one piece — the photos show the actual mug in stock, including its unique indigo crystal pattern.

How big is a medium mug?

It holds roughly 12–14 oz to the rim, which is the everyday size for pour-over, drip coffee, or a generous tea.

What if it sells out?

Out-of-stock mugs can still be ordered. Please allow up to one month for a new one to be made, and note the glaze pattern will be unique to your firing.

What makes this mug unique?

The crystalline blues break differently in every firing, so the speckle pattern on this exact mug happened once and only once. What you see in the photos is the exact piece that ships.

How this mug was made

Thrown on the wheel from stoneware, trimmed at leather hard, handle pulled and attached by hand, bisque fired, dipped and layered in glaze, then fired until the indigo crystals bloomed.

Care instructions

Dishwasher safe on a normal cycle, though hand washing keeps the glaze glossy for longer
Microwave safe — no metallic glazes or lustres are used
Avoid extreme thermal shock, such as a freezer-cold mug under boiling water
The unglazed foot ring may be lightly abrasive on soft wood; use a coaster
