Thea Ceramics Mug

Thea Ceramics is a pottery studio on Waiheke Island. These pieces are designed and made by owner/operator Esther McDonald (Ngā Puhi, Ngāti Wai, Ngāti Pukenga).

All Thea pieces are thrown on the pottery wheel and made for every day use.

These mugs are thrown on the pottery wheel and hand glazed in 3 different glazes:

- Muka is named after the fibre that come from Harakeke (flax), Muka is a beautiful cream glaze.

- Pōuriuri is a darkest green glaze, with a satin finish.

- Karamea (translates to "caramel" in Te reo Māori) but also talks to the clay banks on Waiheke Island. This glaze is a satin terracotta glaze with lovely warm, pink and peach tones.

The brutalist clay is a hard wearing clay, that has a light feel and concrete look.

These mugs are perfect for a shorter drink, made especially for long black coffee. Made with a sturdy handle, still with a two finger grip.

These hold around 280ml and are 7cm tall and 8 cm diameter. 

All Thea ceramics are hand made so sizes and colours vary, they are dishwasher safe and are intended for everyday use

These items are limited edition, and handmade in New Zealand
