The Mug - Black & White is more than just a mug—it's a small ritual for your everyday coffee, tea, or cocoa.

This is the kind of mug you reach for when you want a moment of calm with every sip.
Handcrafted in Brightwater, New Zealand, just down the road from Nelson, each piece carries the warmth and character of real artisanal pottery. No two mugs are exactly alike, giving you a unique piece with its own subtle variation in glaze and texture that you’ll want to show off in your kitchen or on your desk.
