CLAY & EMBER

Handmade in Small Batches

CRAFTED BY HAND.
FIRED BY HEART.

Every mug tells the story of clay, fire, and patient hands.

Our Collection

Each piece is thrown, fired, and painted by hand. No two are identical.

The Process

Made the Right Way

Every piece goes through the same three steps — no shortcuts, no exceptions.

01

Wheel-Thrown

Every piece shaped by hand on a potter's wheel — no two identical. The clay decides as much as the maker.

02

Kiln-Fired

Fired at 2,300°F for 12 hours. That heat isn't just process — it's what turns soft clay into something you'll keep for decades.

03

Hand-Painted

Each cobalt design applied freehand with a single brush. The slight variations are the point — proof it was made by a person, not a machine.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

Every single one. Each mug starts as a lump of clay on the wheel, gets trimmed and dried, bisque-fired, hand-painted with cobalt underglaze, glazed, and fired again at 2,300°F. The whole process takes about two weeks per batch.
