Handmade Pottery Mug – Rustic Turquoise Amber Ceramic Mug 350ml

The Story Behind This Piece

I enjoy creating these rustic mugs because they celebrate the unpredictable nature of handmade pottery. Each mug is thrown on the wheel before being hand-altered to create a softer, more organic form.

The glazes are carefully layered and sprayed onto the surface, allowing the turquoise, amber and earthy brown tones to flow and interact during firing. Every kiln firing produces slightly different results, making each mug completely individual while remaining part of the Rustic Collection.

A striking handmade ceramic serving bowl with a sculptural, flowing form—designed to stand out on any table.

This piece is first thrown on the wheel and then carefully altered and reshaped by hand, creating its organic, asymmetrical silhouette. The result is a bowl that feels dynamic and unique from every angle—both functional and a true statement piece.

The glaze is part of my rustic collection, built up through multiple layered glazes to create depth, movement, and variation. Blue and green tones blend together with subtle hints of earthy brown, shifting across the surface depending on how the glazes interact during firing.

Some areas develop a soft matte finish, while others remain rich and glossy, giving the piece a beautiful contrast in texture. The rim is finished with an ash glaze, creating a natural, slightly rustic effect reminiscent of wood-fired pottery, with gentle drips and variation.

Inside the bowl, the original throwing spiral remains visible, adding another layer of texture and story to the piece.

No two bowls like this can ever be replicated.
