Handmade Stoneware Mug, White Sand Speckled
$74.99
A hand-thrown stoneware mug sized for a real cup of coffee or tea, not an oversized novelty piece. The soft white, speckled body pairs a glossy clear glaze with an unglazed, textured base.
Key Features
- Body: soft white, fine speckles, hand-thrown stoneware
- Glaze: glossy clear on interior and upper exterior, unglazed textured base
- Size: 3.7 in diameter (9.4 cm), 2.4 in height (6 cm)
- Use: sized for coffee or tea
- Care: microwave and dishwasher safe
The unglazed base grips a saucer better than a fully glazed mug, and can pick up faint marks over time like any raw stoneware foot.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is this mug?
It measures 3.7 inches (9.4 cm) across and 2.4 inches (6 cm) tall, a size built for a standard cup of coffee or tea rather than an oversized mug. Because each one is hand-thrown, exact dimensions vary by a small margin from piece to piece.
Is the mug dishwasher and microwave safe?
Yes. The glazed interior and upper exterior are both dishwasher and microwave safe, and the glaze itself is food-safe. The base is left unglazed and textured, so it is best kept away from prolonged soaking to preserve the raw stoneware surface underneath.
Why does the base look different from the rest of the mug?
The base is left unglazed on purpose, showing the raw stoneware texture underneath the glossy clear glaze used on the interior and upper exterior. It is a deliberate design choice common to hand-thrown pottery, not a flaw in the piece.
How long does shipping take?
Shipping runs 1 to 4 weeks unless the mug is already in stock at the US warehouse, since each piece comes from a small pottery studio in Ukraine rather than a mass-production facility. In-stock orders ship faster than made-to-order pieces.
Does buying this support anything beyond the mug itself?
Yes, part of each sale supports Ukrainian refugees, tying directly back to the small studio in Ukraine where every mug is hand-thrown on the wheel rather than produced on an automated line. Each purchase helps sustain that studio's ongoing, small-batch work.
