Terracotta Mug

The ideal mug for every day. Whether your drink of choice is a relaxing cup of tea or a coffee to get you started in the morning, this generously sized mug has got you covered.

Hand-thrown in terracotta clay in Belfast, Helen has chosen a beautiful, smooth, turquoise glaze that contrasts with the exposed dark clay perfectly. The overall shape is a delight to hold, with the lines and curves as evidence that each piece is made by hand.

Dimensions and Care:

Each mug measures approx. 9.5cm tall and 9cm in diameter. This piece is safe to use in the oven and dishwasher but not recommended for the microwave as the terracotta clay heats up very quickly.
