Handleless cups for slow sipping

Our handleless sipping cups are made to be held in two hands, warm against the palm. They are an easy way to bring a piece of the harbour into your morning routine, or to give someone else theirs.

A good first purchase, and an easy gift.

03 — The material

Colours gathered, not bought

Our glaze colours come from seaweed ash and beach clay gathered locally around Falmouth. Because the materials come from the shore, the colours carry the character of the place and vary from batch to batch. It is slow, hands-on work, and it is why no two firings look quite the same.

  • 02Beach clay

Every batch is a little different.

Pre-orders

Made in rhythm, not in a rush

We work on a rolling 6-week production cycle and take pre-orders for each run. Your pieces are made, glazed and fired in small batches rather than pulled from a warehouse shelf. It means a wait, and it means your set was made for you.
