Choosing handmade mugs
Handmade ceramic mugs vary a little in shape and glaze, which is what makes each one feel personal. Pick a handle you can hold comfortably and a size that suits your usual drink, as a small mug keeps coffee warmer than a wide one. Habulous makes most of the handmade mugs here by hand in Britain from British clay, including birth flower mugs, personalised name mugs and flower mugs such as narcissus, primrose, sweet pea, poppy and cherry blossom. Many Habulous pieces are listed as microwave and dishwasher safe, so check each listing. We checked each maker here for how and where its pieces are made.
Ceramic mugs as gifts
Ceramic mugs make easy Christmas presents. Habulous can personalise mugs with a name or a child's drawing or handwriting. So Just Shop sells hand-painted mugs such as an elephant mug, a rainbow mug and the Bella mug, plus enamel mugs, and Bouclé sells a Frankie espresso mug.
Handmade plates and handmade bowls
Habulous makes handmade plates in dinner and side sizes, pasta and cereal bowls, wonky bowls, stacking tapas bowls and milk jugs in pastel glazes. So Just Shop sells oatmeal stoneware platters, side plates and dessert bowls, red Leila bowls and a Kenyan soapstone dish. Green Island makes handcrafted coconut bowls, and Clean U Skincare makes repurposed coconut bowls with spoons. Handmade ceramics like these are best warmed gently, so let them come to room temperature before they go in a hot oven.
Stainless steel cutlery
Nick Munro makes stainless steel cutlery in its Duetto and Venezia ranges, in 49, 50 and 75 piece sets, plus serving spoons, a soup ladle, a cake slice and coffee spoons. Most of these are dishwasher safe. Dry cutlery straight after washing to avoid water marks. A full set makes a generous wedding or new home present, and serving pieces are an easy Christmas gift for someone who hosts. Kitchen Linen has placemats and napkins, Kitchen Accessories has oil pourers and spoon rests, Coffee Cups has reusable cups, and Eco-home essentials worth building a room around has more ideas for the home.
Common questions
Are handmade mugs dishwasher safe?
Many Habulous mugs are listed as microwave and dishwasher safe, but check each listing. Hand washing keeps glazes looking their best.
Can you personalise a mug?
Yes. Habulous makes mugs personalised with a name, a birth flower or a child's drawing or handwriting.
What is stoneware?
Stoneware is clay fired at a high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing. It suits everyday mugs, plates and bowls.
How many pieces are in a cutlery set?
Nick Munro's Duetto and Venezia sets come in 49, 50 and 75 piece versions. Check each listing for what is included.
