Lately, I’ve gotten some requests for handle-less mugs (one of my friends said she has a habit of accidentally breaking them off), so I’ve made some “thumbprint” cups. (Some don’t have thumbprints, haha.)
I like using them for hot tea, and they’re easy to fit together in the cabinet.
At first I thought just from the pictures they were like sake sized and then as I scrolled I noticed they were tea sized … I absolutely love them! If there was a “This Rocks” button I would have so pressed it!!! Beautiful work!
And maybe they would be sake sized for me!

They are so gorgeous! I love the colors! I love pottery.
This is a great idea and would store so much better than the ones with handles. I love the color palette you chose. These are very cool and I love that they are a functional craft!
Your work is always so lovely. I am feeling so inspired to take a pottery class! I love them all, how do you ever give any away? I’d end up needing more cupboards in the kitchen to hold everything, haha.
@bananaleg, I prefer handles too (because I like my coffee pretty darn hot), but I’ve recently realized that I only hold the handle for the first five minutes or so anyway, and then I end up holding the body of the cup like a handwarmer!
Me too! Sometimes when I spend a lot of time on the tiny things or sculptural things, they tend to pile up a little bit. I can usually find a home for these.
Heehee, I have a friend who comes into town for work about once a month, and tends to hit up my “stash;” she asked the same thing, but we just don’t have the space or the need . Also, husby thinks the cabinets are going to fall down with the amount of things we already do keep (mostly the wonky things), haha!
And here I thought we had enough cups at home… but those are just the perfect tea mugs for me! They are fantastic, and I never drink my tea before I can’t at least hold the mug or cup itself instead of the handle. Usually when it’s completely cold.
