Holds heat far better than my old thin mugs
The wall thickness is the point. Coffee is still warm at the bottom, which was never true of the thin ones we had. The stripes are painted by hand so they wander a little, and that is the charm. Three hundred millilitres is a proper cup, not a token one.
Hand-Painted Striped Mug
- A table that looks collected, not bought. Hand-painted stripes, made to be mixed.
- Painted, not printed. The stripes sit under the glaze, so they won't scratch off.
- Won't stain. A non-porous glaze shrugs off coffee, tomato and turmeric.
Mix colours however you like — the set price stays the same.

Description+
A 300 ml ceramic mug with hand-painted stripes and coffee time pressed into the clay, thick-walled enough to hold heat.
A 300 ml ceramic mug, 8.6 cm across, with hand-painted stripes running vertically down the body and coffee time pressed into the clay as a raised detail. The wall is thick enough to hold heat through a slow morning and give the mug some weight in the hand, which is most of what separates a good mug from a thin one.
Three colourways: amber brown, black and green. Sold singly or in sets of two or four, so a set of odd colours works as well as a matched pair. Painted by hand, so stripe width varies between mugs. Wash it by hand to keep the painted surface sharp; a dishwasher will dull it over time.
The stripes are painted by hand before glazing, so spacing and width shift a little from piece to piece and no two are identical. Glaze depth also changes how the colour reads under warm bulbs versus daylight. That variation is the make, not a fault.

Why the Hand-Painted Striped Mug
Each piece is painted by hand and then glazed over, so the pattern is sealed inside rather than sitting on the surface. It won't scratch off against cutlery or fade in the sink the way a printed transfer does.
The glaze is glossy, food safe and non-porous, which means a tomato sauce or a turmeric latte wipes away instead of leaving a shadow. Microwave fine, hand wash preferred.
The colourways are drawn to sit together rather than match, so a table set with four different ones looks considered. Start with a single piece and add to it, or take a set of two or four at a lower price per piece.

Beautiful, but hand wash means hand wash
I put one through the dishwasher despite the advice and the painted stripes lost a bit of their gloss on that one. My fault entirely. The other three are washed by hand and look new. Docking a star only because I wish the note were on the box rather than just the page.
Bought two black ones. They have become the mugs everyone in the house reaches for first, which is the only review that matters. The handle fits a whole hand, which is rarer than it should be.
Frequently asked questions
Is it dishwasher safe?+
We recommend washing by hand. The glaze itself will survive a dishwasher, but repeated hot cycles and harsh detergent dull hand-painted colour faster than a warm sink does. Hand washing keeps the stripes sharp for years.
Can I use it in the microwave?+
Yes, the glaze carries no metallic content. Let it cool before rinsing rather than moving it straight from a hot microwave to cold water, which risks thermal shock in any ceramic.
Will the stripes look exactly like the photo?+
Close, not identical. Each piece is painted by hand before glazing, so the width and spacing of the stripes shift a little from one to the next. That's how you can tell it isn't a transfer print.
Can I mix colours in a set?+
The set options ship in a single colour. If you want a mixed set, order singles in the colours you want, which comes to the same thing at single-piece pricing.
Is it food safe?+
Yes. The glaze is food safe and non-porous, so it doesn't absorb oils or odours from what you serve on it.
