Cosy Cups | Pre-order

from $50.00

For the dreamers, the lingerers, and the “just five more minutes” crowd.

The Cosy Cup is made for slow mornings, rainy afternoons, and those rare unicorn moments when the house is actually quiet. Think: hands wrapped around warm clay, steam rising, and a sip that makes the world soften at the edges. It holds a generous 280–300ml, which is just enough to fuel a long chat, a good book, or that Netflix episode you swore you weren’t going to start at 10pm.

Traditionally handleless (inspired by Japanese yunomi), these cups fit snugly in your palms — like a little clay hug. But if you’re Team Handle, I’ve got you. You can opt to add one. (Zero judgement — sometimes we all need a little extra grip to hang onto life.)

Each one is handmade here in my Murrumbateman studio, which means no two are ever the same. Some may have a little lean, a drippy glaze run, or a quirky curve — all the wabi-sabi charm that proves a human made it, not a factory robot.

These aren’t cups for rushing. They’re cups for rituals — however messy, sacred, or makeshift yours may be.

At a Glance:

  • Handmade, one of a kind, perfectly imperfect

  • Holds approx. 280–300ml of tea, coffee, or cocoa comfort

  • Handleless by design — handle optional at checkout

  • Choose your colour family (earthy, vibrant, soft) or go classic white

  • Made to order | Pre-orders now open

Cosy Cups: For when you want your drink — and your day — to feel a little warmer.

Note: Size and shape vary slightly—just like our moods before coffee. Also, due to the alchemy of glaze and fire, final colours may differ. That’s the handmade magic.

How to care for your handmade pottery

Handcrafted & One of a Kind

Each Cosy Cup is handmade in my Murrumbateman studio with equal parts intention, caffeine, and chaos (usually while someone small is asking if dogs can marry cats or if I know how tall the Eiffel Tower is). These cups are wheel-thrown or handbuilt, then shaped, trimmed, and glazed by hand. They’re built for those glorious moments where you actually sit, sip, and remember you’re a whole human being — not just the person who knows everyone’s library bag day.

Unlike mass-produced mugs that all look the same and feel like a hotel buffet fork, Cosy Cups are each gloriously unique. Shapes lean, glazes drip, colours surprise — but the result is always the same: a cup that feels like it was made just for you.

Available in clean white or a colour family of your choosing (earthy, vibrant, soft), each Cosy Cup holds a generous 280–300ml. Perfect for your morning latte, peppermint tea, or that hot chocolate you’re 100% not sharing with the kids. By design, they’re handleless, inspired by the Japanese yunomi — but if you’re Team Handle, you can add one. (No judgement — sometimes grip is life.)

A Slow & Intentional Process

Because even big, cosy cups deserve the full spa treatment.

Days 1–2: Thrown on the wheel — depending on the clay, the studio vibe, and whether I’ve had my own coffee yet. Once shaped, they rest. Like me after lugging in the groceries, they need a moment.

Days 3–6: Trimming and refining. I tidy up the form, maybe add a cheeky maker’s mark, and, if you’ve chosen a handle, this is when I pull and attach it. Then it’s off to a damp box (basically a clay day spa) to dry slowly, so they don’t crack under pressure — unlike me in Week 8 of Term 4.

Days 7–10: Bisque firing. Into the kiln for their first big cook, turning them from baby-soft clay to sturdy ceramic grown-ups who can handle hot drinks and hot gossip.

Days 11–13: Glazing. Each one gets brushed by hand with at least three coats of glaze. No dunking, no shortcuts — just layer upon layer of personality-packed colour.

Days 14–16: Glaze firing. The kiln works its magic, colours melt and settle, and then I sand the bottoms silky-smooth and give each one a warm, soapy bath. Because they deserve it. And so do you.
