Shaw Road Ceramics Handmade Black Stoneware Mug

Discover the beauty of New Zealand ceramics with this hand-thrown black stoneware mug by Shaw Road Ceramics. Crafted by local ceramic artist Melissa Hastings, each mug is inspired by the swirling mists that drift through the majestic Waitākere Ranges on the wild west coast of Te Ika-a-Māui. Layered glazes are carefully painted by hand, creating flowing patterns that echo morning fog, making every piece beautifully unique.

Nestled among the peaceful apple orchards of Oratia in West Auckland, Shaw Road Ceramics is the studio of Melissa Hastings, whose handmade ceramics reflect a deep connection to the natural environment. Her contemporary ceramic art combines functional stoneware with soft, earthy tones and simplified forms that pay subtle homage to modernist design.

With its generous form and satisfying weight, this handcrafted mug is designed to become part of your daily ritual—a ceramic vessel that offers moments of calm with every cup. Beautifully made from durable handcrafted pottery, it is equally at home as part of a curated collection of ceramic homewares or given as one of those thoughtful ceramic gifts or timeless pottery gifts. Its distinctive finish and artisanal craftsmanship also make it a wonderful piece of collectible ceramics to treasure for years to come.

130 x 70mm.

To preserve the beauty of the hand-painted glaze, we recommend handwashing.
