Bring a little colour, creativity and handmade charm to your everyday rituals with this unique ceramic mug from Kate’s ‘Nessa’ collection. Beautifully inspired by the distinctive patterns and expressive paintings of renowned Bloomsbury artist, Vanessa Bell.
Each mug is slowly made and hand-thrown on a pottery wheel, then carefully hand-painted by Kate in her peaceful Sussex garden studio. Using vibrant coloured underglazes in a soft, muted palette, Kate decorates each piece with delicate flowers, playful wiggles and whimsical brushstrokes. The result is a charming, artistic design that feels both timeless and contemporary, bringing a little personality to your kitchen cupboard.
As every mug is individually handmade and painted, no two are exactly alike. Subtle variations in the decoration, shape and finish make each piece truly one of a kind, allowing you to enjoy a little piece of Kate’s creativity with every cup of tea or coffee.
The natural clay body develops a beautiful tactile finish during firing, with delicate speckles created by tiny flecks of iron in the clay. These subtle markings add warmth, texture and character, complementing the hand-painted design perfectly.
Combining artistic beauty with everyday practicality, the ‘Nessa’ mug is food-safe, hard-wearing and suitable for both microwave and dishwasher use.
It also makes a thoughtful pottery gift for birthdays, Mother’s Day, housewarmings or anyone who appreciates handmade ceramics and distinctive design.
Kate is proud to offer plastic-free packaging. Every order is carefully wrapped in paper and packed into a sturdy box to help ensure it arrives safely, ready to be enjoyed.
A beautiful blend of British craftsmanship, artistic inspiration and everyday usefulness, this mug is a lovely way to make your daily coffee or tea feel a little more special.
