A little slice of the garden in your hands Imagine taking a quiet five minutes in the morning, holding a steaming brew, and feeling the tiny, textured details of a countryside garden right under your fingertips. I hand-throw each of these 10 fl oz mugs on the wheel, before individually hand-painting vibrant sunflowers and leafy vines across the clay. To make each mug a truly unique treasure, I carefully hand-sculpt a little 3D bumblebee onto the surface, creating a delightful tactile detail that you can actually feel as you wrap your hands around your favourite drink.

Generous, comforting, and joyfully practical Holding a full, satisfying 10 fl oz, this is your new go-to "proper" mug for every daily ritual. The smooth rim ensures a lovely, clean sip, while the substantial weight of high-fired stoneware holds the heat inside for longer. It is the perfect shape for a creamy morning tea with milk, a silky flat white, or a soothing herbal brew after a long day in the garden.

An unforgettable gift for nature & bee lovers Psychology shows that the most memorable gifts are the ones that spark genuine delight through sight and touch. If you have a friend who adores their garden, loves bees, or simply appreciates one-of-a-kind British craftsmanship, this mug makes an utterly magical birthday or thank-you gift. It's a functional piece of art that turns an ordinary cup of tea into a moment of pure joy.

The Details:

  • Capacity: A substantial 10 fl oz (approx. 280ml) — ideal for tea, lattes, and hot chocolates.

  • Special Features: Hand-painted sunflowers and leaves with a hand-sculpted 3D embossed bumblebee.

  • Material: High-fired, durable stoneware clay; food-safe and lead-free.

  • Crafted by: Hand-thrown, painted, and sculpted by Nina in Shropshire.

  • Care: Hand-washing is recommended to keep the 3D bumblebee looking its absolute best for years to come.

  • Shipping: Safely wrapped in 100% plastic-free, recyclable packaging and sent via Royal Mail Tracked delivery across the UK.

One-of-a-kind beauty: Because every single flower is hand-painted and each 3D bee is individually sculpted, no two mugs will ever be completely identical. Yours will feature its own distinct personality, brushstrokes, and character — a truly unique piece of studio pottery made just for you.

A gentle note on our small-batch process: Because I work in very small, intentional batches, there may be times when an item is out of stock; if so, I will happily hand-craft your piece to order, a slow-made process that typically takes between 6 to 8 weeks from the wheel to the kiln.

FAQs

Yes, unless otherwise stated the item is dishwasher safe, however to preserve the finish and help improve the longevity of your pottery, I recommend washing it by hand wherever possible. 

Overtime dishwashers can cause additional wear on ceramics, especially with intricate glazes or decorations.

In particular circumstances where a lower fire clay is used, this is clear in the description of the item and while still may 'survive' a dishwasher it will effect the glaze/colours quicker.

want you to love your ceramics as much as I loved making them. However, I understand that sometimes things don't go as planned.

In the Unlikely Event of Breakages; While I pride myself on my robust, plastic-free packaging, the journey of a ceramic piece can occasionally be a bumpy one. If your item arrives damaged:
