Mandala Lace Coffee Mug, Turquoise Doily Ceramic, Handmade Dutch Pottery

Handmade mandala lace ceramic coffee mug — hand-pressed with a vintage doily mandala and finished in soft turquoise reactive glaze with warm copper undertones showing through. Like drinking morning coffee from grandma's stitched linen. One of a kind, made in the Netherlands by a mother-and-son studio. Only one exists in the world. Once it's sold, it's gone.

Like a stitched mandala pressed into clay. A radiating doily pattern blooms from the centre, wrapped in vintage lace that carries every stitch our grandmothers made. Turquoise glaze pools softly across the surface — copper and rust tones glowing through the recesses where the glaze ran thin. The perfect mug for slow mornings and mindful coffee rituals.

At 12 cm tall and 9 cm wide, it holds a comfortable serving — perfect for a large coffee, a hot chocolate, or a long cup of tea. Warm and comforting to hold. The handle is hand-attached and softly curved.

Use it for: ✦ your morning coffee, drip or French press ✦ hot chocolate on cold days ✦ a long cup of tea in the afternoon ✦ a meaningful gift for a coffee lover, cottagecore soul, mandala collector, or vintage-loving friend ✦ a self-gift for lovers of soulful, one-of-a-kind objects

Please note: as each piece is hand-shaped and hand-pressed with vintage lace, and the reactive glaze flows unpredictably in the kiln, dimensions and pattern may vary slightly. Small kiln kisses and pooled glaze are part of the wabi-sabi charm — every mug is truly unique.

— THE STORY —

We are a mother and son working side by side in a small Dutch studio in Katwijk aan Zee, just a few streets from the North Sea. Every mug is rolled, lace-pressed, glazed and fired by our hands — slow, quiet, and never two alike. We collect vintage lace doilies — pieces our grandmothers stitched — and press them into wet stoneware. The cloth burns away in the kiln, but the pattern stays forever. The reactive turquoise glaze is unpredictable: it crawls, bubbles and pools in the kiln, creating the warm copper undertones you see here.
