Handmade Stoneware Mugs from 'Luru
Your morning chai or coffee deserves better than a mass-produced cup. From our signature kangaroo mugs to sky-inspired tumblers, we’re serving up personality with every single sip.
The famous kangaroo mug. We designed this with a clever little pocket on the side to hold your tea bag string or a small cookie. It’s functional, quirky, and a total conversation starter.
Inspired by the ever-changing Bangalore skies, these tumblers are perfect for your morning brew. Each one is hand-painted, so no two cloudscapes are ever the same.
A delicate, hand-painted floral cup and saucer set that’s almost too pretty to use. This piece was made by one of our students who has a serious talent for creating beautiful, functional art.
This mug features a beautiful leaf pattern created using the Mishima inlay technique. We carve the design into the clay and fill it with a colored slip, resulting in a clean, crisp pattern.
Sometimes a glaze does all the talking. This mug features a drippy, layered glaze effect that creates a unique, almost painterly look. It’s one of our favorite experiments from the kiln.
These mugs are decorated with sprigs, which are small, molded clay pieces applied to the surface. This technique, inspired by ancient temple carvings, adds a beautiful, three-dimensional detail.
You can't go wrong with a classic. These simple, wheel-thrown mugs with a speckled white glaze are a studio staple. They're sturdy, comfortable to hold, and perfect for everyday use.
A peek at some student work fresh from the kiln. This set includes a mug with a carved wave pattern and a unique, curvy tumbler, showing the different styles that emerge from our classes.
Another beautiful example of our hand-painted tumblers. The soft green glaze and delicate cloud details make this piece feel calm and serene, just like a quiet 'Luru morning.
About Mugs for Days
Everything here is high-fired to Cone 6, which is just pottery-speak for 'tough enough to handle the dishwasher.' Because we know nobody wants to hand-wash their coffee mug every single morning, right?
We aren't about perfectly uniform, factory-made drinkware. If you’re looking for a mug that feels like it has a soul, you’re in the right place. Our 'Luru studio is pure chaos, but that’s where the magic happens. We mix wheel-throwing with hand-building to get those weird, wonderful shapes that you just can't find on a department store shelf.
We’re famous for our kangaroo mugs—yes, they have a little pocket for your tea bag or biscuit. We also do those body-positive boob and vulva mugs that always spark a conversation. If you’re into patterns, our Sgraffito and Mishima inlay pieces are carved right here in the studio.
Technically, we use high-fired stoneware clay. It’s fired to Cone 6, meaning it’s super durable, non-porous, and food-safe. It holds heat well, so your coffee stays warmer for longer. Whether you need a sturdy everyday tumbler or a sculptural piece for a gift, we’ve got something. Check out our range, see what’s in stock, or chat with us about a custom order. We love a good creative challenge.
