Individually thrown and glazed stoneware mini mugs by Olivia using a stoneware clay

They hold approximately 100-130 mls and so comfortably fit a double espresso shot

*please note:

  • the glaze on your mug may alter slightly from those shown in the photo, ie how the glaze has dripped or how opaque it is in places, or how it has altered over surface texture etc. 
  • the mug shape may alter from mug to mug due to them all being individually thrown. If buying multiple, we try match them as best as possible. 
  • due to the handmade nature of ceramics, there may be some tiny flaws in the clay and glaze 

price is for one mug. Multiple mugs shown in photos is purely to show how the shape or glaze may alter

mugs listed as "seconds" are just slightly off in terms of shape and/ or glaze/ small flaws

Best little whale of a tail.

I love my little mugs so much. Each morning when I drink my coffee they bring me so much joy. They are beautiful and so well crafted. And they are made with love.

First of many

I just received this beautiful handmade mug from Wheely Good Ceramics, and I couldn't be more impressed! It made its journey all the way to Alaska, carefully wrapped and clearly crafted with intention and care.

The glaze has incredible depth and subtle variation, giving it a vibrant yet earthy feel. The handle is a true standout—uniquely sculpted and super comfortable to hold, which makes sipping feel like a small ritual.

It’s the kind of piece you want to show off and also use every day. You can really feel the love and craft behind it. Absolutely worth the wait and the shipping. A perfect reminder that good design and soul can live in the same object.

Can’t wait to add more from this artist to my collection.

Founders

Emily & Olivia – the youngest of four sisters from the UK.

Emily and Olivia, the youngest sisters from the UK, founded Wheely Good Ceramics through a shared journey of creativity and resilience. In 2022, feeling lost after university, Olivia turned to ceramics as a creative outlet. That same summer, Emily, who became paralysed at 13 due to a virus affecting her spinal cord, began painting with her mouth. Struggling to find the right medium, and never knowing what to paint, Olivia made a pot for her to paint instead. She discovered underglaze on Olivia’s pots to be the perfect medium and enjoyed painting on a ceramic rather than a canvas. Their first collaboration—a jug painted with butterflies for their sister as an engagement gift —sparked the beginning of Wheely Good Ceramics, a heartfelt blend of handmade pottery and mouth-painted art.
