Sea Foam Speckled Coffee Mug, Coastal Ceramic Cup, Handmade Dutch Pottery

Handmade sea foam ceramic coffee mug — for slow coastal mornings and salty afternoons. Finished in cream at the rim, dripping into pale sage and speckled turquoise like foam catching first light. One of a kind, made in the Netherlands by a mother-and-son studio, just streets from the North Sea. Only one exists in the world.

Like sea foam catching the first light of morning. Cream and sage glaze pool softly at the rim, then wash down into speckled turquoise — dotted all over like sunlight on shallow water. A calm, coastal mug for slow mornings, quiet coffees and windowsill teas.

At 13 cm tall and 9 cm wide, it holds a generous serving — perfect for a large coffee, tea, matcha or hot chocolate. The taller shape keeps drinks warm longer. Comfortable to hold. The handle is hand-attached and softly curved.

Use it for: ✦ your morning coffee or matcha latte ✦ afternoon tea, chai or hot chocolate ✦ evening chamomile or slow-reading tea ✦ a meaningful gift for a coastal home dweller, beach lover, or slow-living soul ✦ a self-gift for lovers of soulful, one-of-a-kind objects

Please note: as each piece is hand-shaped and the reactive glaze flows unpredictably, 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, glazed and fired by our hands — slow, quiet, and never two alike. This one was made from a memory of a morning walk along the tide line — sea foam catching the first light, the water still and green as glass. The reactive glaze is unpredictable: it crawls, bubbles and pools in the kiln, creating the speckled surface you see here.
