Colour Block Mug

A simple, beautifully tactile mug designed in collaboration with and made by Christien Van Bussel in Co. Wicklow. Months in development, we wanted a mug that is comfortable to hold, has character and tactility. Slip-cast in durable stoneware clay, and fired at high temperatures, these mugs are suitable for dishwasher and microwave use.

Christien has used a mix of glazes for this series. The speckled, matte glaze contrasts beautifully with the gloss handle which gives a pop of vibrant colour. Choose between yellow, red, or green, or mix and match! Each mug is beautifully finished with our Áras logo on the base. 

Each mug measures: 78mm tall x 133mm wide (including handle)

Christien is a Wicklow-based ceramic artist and the maker of our best-selling Colour Block mugs. Originally from Holland, she and her husband settled in Ireland several years ago.

With a spacious studio in Aughrim, surrounded by her dogs, chickens and donkeys, the quiet and rural atmosphere encourages creativity and a good workflow.

Christien uses the slip-casting technique in durable stoneware clay to create her unique pieces. They fired at high temperatures making them suitable for dishwasher and microwave use.
