XL Ceramic Mug — “A” Initial, Purple Crystal & Copper

An oversized handmade ceramic mug that holds a full 800 ml — enough for a proper coffee, an unhurried tea, or a wide bowl of hot chocolate without refilling.

The making: Each mug is slab-built by hand from stoneware clay in our Scottish studio, so no two are exactly alike. Small variations in thickness and shape are part of the character.

How it looks: Finished in a delicate pink glaze inside; outside, a playful split of purple crystal and gleaming copper, with funky black stripes on the handle. The front carries a bold “A” on the front, decorated with black polka dots — a small personal touch that makes the mug feel like yours.

Use it for:

• A really generous morning coffee or tea
• Slow weekend hot chocolate by the window
• Soup, porridge or noodles when you want a mug, not a bowl
• A statement desk mug that stops you needing constant refills

A thoughtful birthday or housewarming gift for the coffee, tea or hot-chocolate lover who already has too many ordinary mugs — especially when the initial matches their name.

Care: Microwave and dishwasher safe. As with all handmade pottery, avoid sudden temperature changes (no oven, no freezer-to-boiling-water).

Size:

• Capacity: approx. 800 ml (0.8 litre)
• Hand-built stoneware ceramic
