Pattern Study Mug

A playful exploration of colour, rhythm, and mark-making.

Unlike many pieces in the Tanushka collection, where storytelling takes centre stage, these mugs invite pattern, texture, and intuition to lead the conversation. Faces appear only as whispers amongst flowing lines, abstract motifs, and layered glazes, allowing the surface to feel open, spontaneous, and full of movement.

Created through an experimental approach to glazing and decoration, each mug embraces the beauty of discovery. Soft blues drift across the clay like waves or clouds, earthy patterns emerge through layered brushstrokes, and delicate line drawings reveal themselves slowly as the piece is turned in your hands.

Finished with a sculptural twisted handle, these mugs are designed to elevate everyday rituals — a morning coffee, an afternoon tea, or a quiet moment of pause. They are objects to be held, observed, and enjoyed, revealing new details with every use.

Part functional pottery, part abstract artwork, each mug celebrates the freedom of process and the beauty of handmade imperfections.

No two are exactly alike.
