Classic large mug, thrown on the pottery wheel in stoneware and double dipped glazed. This mug is perfect for hot drinks and everyday enjoyment, around 10oz, 9-10cm tall and with a handle but big enough for a two finger grip.

Aumoana means Oceanic in te reo Māori, to look out onto the moana - it is a light egg shell blue.

All items are hand made on the pottery wheel and will vary from size to size. If buying sets we try and match them for you.

Designed and created on Waiheke Island, New Zealand.

Dishwasher safe and hardwearing.
