Handmade Ceramic Mugs & Cups for Your Daily Ritual
I shape each mug by hand, designed to turn your morning chai or coffee into a quiet, mindful moment. Since every piece is made in small batches, the mug you hold will be truly your own.

About Mugs & Cups: Your Daily Ritual
My mugs are designed to be held, not just displayed. I shape each handle specifically for a comfortable grip, and the double-fired stoneware walls are thicker than standard ceramic to keep your morning coffee or evening chai warmer for longer.
Each mug I create is part of a slow process, rooted in the belief that pottery should be functional art. I work in small batches, using techniques like sgraffito and wax-resist dyeing to create textures that you can actually feel against your fingers. Because I throw on the wheel and hand-build each piece, no two mugs are identical, which is exactly how I like it—a little bit imperfect and completely unique.
Whether you prefer a rustic, speckled finish or a smooth glaze with deep, flowing drips, you will find a piece that matches your kitchen aesthetic. All my stoneware mugs are microwave and dishwasher safe, featuring lead-free glazes that are fully food-safe for your daily beverages.
If you are in Bengaluru, you can pick these up directly from my studio in HSR Layout, or I can ship them securely to your doorstep anywhere in India. I am also happy to take on custom orders if you have a specific colour palette or theme in mind for a gift or a set for your home. I believe that your daily coffee ritual should feel like a moment of pause, and these pieces are built to help you do just that.
