Smug Mugs | Pre-order
Not all mugs are created equal. Some hold coffee. Smug Mugs hold confidence.
Whether you’re a handle-haver or a hugger-of-clay, the Smug Mug is here for your daily dose of caffeine and cheek. Each one is handmade in small batches with big personality—crafted slowly and soulfully right here in the Whistle & Page studio in Murrumbateman.
Choose your vibe:
Handled for the classic clink-and-sip type
Handleless for the warm-hug-in-both-hands experience
Each mug holds approx. 350ml (sometimes more, depending on the clay’s mood) and measures roughly 10cm x 10cm. Expect some variation—because life’s too short for matchy-matchy factory mugs.
Every Smug Mug is glazed inside and out in vibrant, unpredictable colourways—think peony pinks, cosmic navies, eucalyptus greens, deep reds, and earthy neutrals. But the real star? That raw clay strip at the front, left unglazed to let your hand-stamped phrase shine. It’s high contrast, high attitude, and high charm.
Choose from a section of phrases (as pictured) —fun, playful, confident, never cruel—and pair it with a general colour family. The kiln does the rest. And trust me: she’s got flair.

Pre-order your Smug Mug and sip like the smug, marvellous human you are.

Handcrafted & One of a Kind
Not all mugs are created equal. Some hold coffee. Smug Mugs hold confidence. Made slowly and soulfully in the Whistle & Page studio in Murrumbateman, each Smug Mug is wheel-thrown, hand-trimmed, and finished in vibrant, unpredictable glazes. Think cosmic navy, eucalyptus green, peony pink, deep red, and earthy neutrals. No dipping, no rushing—just rich colour and raw clay charm. At the front? A signature raw strip of clay featuring your hand-stamped phrase—cheeky, confident, and full of character. You pick the vibe, the kiln brings the drama. Handled or handleless? Totally your call. One’s classic. The other’s a warm hug. Both are here for your daily dose of caffeine and sass.
A Slow & Intentional Process
Every mug is made to order, and here’s what that looks like:
Day 1–2: Wheel-thrown and shaped with care. Then it rests a bit—just like us.
Days 3–9: Your phrase is hand-stamped into the raw clay plaque. If chosen, the handle is added now too. Then it chills in a damp box to dry slowly and evenly.
Days 10–12: Bisque firing begins—this is where the clay becomes strong enough to handle life’s little spills.
Days 13–15: I brush on at least three layers of glaze—no dips, all hand-painted love. Then it’s back into the kiln.
Days 16–18: Glaze firing works its magic. Once cooled, each mug is sanded smooth, given a soapy bath, and prepped for packing.
