This cup is part of my “Ugly Mugs made with Love” series, where every piece is shaped by feel rather than perfection. There’s no handle here — instead, I pressed and hugged the clay with my hands while it was still soft, leaving gentle indentions that make the cup easy and surprisingly fun to hold. It almost nestles into your palms.
The glaze is a calm grey with carved lines that give it a bit of movement and texture. It holds roughly 8 ounces, just right for morning coffee, tea, or whatever warm comfort you like to sip.
It isn’t trying to be flawless. It’s meant to be honest, tactile, and full of personality — the kind of cup that feels like it has a story before you even pour anything into it.
