Four speckled stoneware mugs arranged on a raw wood table

Karoo Stoneware Mug Set

Four hand-thrown mugs in speckled clay

Thrown on the wheel in a two-person studio in Woodstock, then finished in a matte oat glaze that lets the iron speckle of the local clay come through. Each mug holds roughly 320 ml, which suits a long morning coffee or a slow cup of tea. Because they are shaped by hand, wall thickness and rim height shift a little from piece to piece. That variation is the point, not a defect.

Good first-kitchen stoneware: heavy enough to stay warm, plain enough to sit next to almost any plate you already own. If you are furnishing a flat in Observatory or Sea Point and want one set that survives daily use, this is the one to start with. Trade buyers ordering for a guesthouse can request a sample mug before committing to a larger batch.

Sample requests and bulk enquiries for stylists, guesthouses and small retailers are handled through the trade desk. Browse the full homeware range to see what else is in stock.
