Cozy vibes: There is something about the half glaze that makes this mug feel ancient and modern at the same time. Like it belongs on a wooden table in a stone cottage somewhere, beside a window with rain on it and a book face down on the arm of a chair. The raw clay bottom warms slightly in your hands as you hold it, and the glossy top catches the candlelight. It is a mug that rewards slowness. The kind you turn over in your hands before you even fill it, just to look at it a little longer.
The same sculptural hand-pressed form as the Mahogany mug, but finished in a way that makes it feel like something discovered rather than made. The upper half is glazed in a deep, glossy mahogany that pools richly around the folded ridge and catches the light with a quiet intensity. Below that, the glaze simply stops, giving way to the raw, warm terracotta clay beneath. Unglazed and unhurried, that lower half shows the natural color and texture of the earth it came from, smooth in some places, faintly marked by the hands that shaped it in others. The line where glaze meets clay is not perfectly straight, it dips and shifts slightly around the body, because nothing about this piece was measured. It was felt. Handleless and grounded, it sits in both hands like it was made for exactly that. Designed to hold ~275 ml (9.5 oz) comfortably.
Each of our handmade ceramics are made by independent artists in small batches.
Handmade ceramics carry the marks of their making. Variations in color, texture, and form reflect the artist’s process. Each piece is shaped by hand, just once, and in its own way, making it uniquely yours.
About the artist: Luuk Ceramic Studio was founded by Büşra, a ceramic artist based in Latvia. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Ceramic Art and Sculpture.
Through her work with clay, an earth material, she deepens her connection to the world and to herself, a material that has held traces of touch, time, and memory for thousands of years, and this connection continues to shape her approach.
She creates vases, sculptural objects, and tableware using handbuilding techniques. A sense of movement and flow is central to her work, visible in soft transitions, curved lines, and balanced forms.
Her work is inspired by architecture, the textures and forms of nature, and fragments of her visual memory. She aims for her works to feel personal, thoughtful, and approachable, connecting people to both the material and the moment in which they were created.
