Tiny Candle Holder & Beeswax Candles
£18.00

A small slab‑built stoneware candle holder paired with three handmade 100% beeswax taper candles, crafted in Sheffield.

  • Candle holder dimensions: approx. 7 cm diameter × 2 cm high

  • Candle dimensions: 10 cm × 1 cm

  • Candle weight: approx. 10 g each

  • Burn time: approx. 2 hours per candle

  • Material: Stoneware clay

  • Finish: White speckled glaze with unglazed rim, lead‑free and cadmium‑free

  • Includes: Three small beeswax taper candles, hand‑dipped

This tiny candle holder is slab built from stoneware clay, shaped with care and a focus on simple, functional form. I embrace the slight wonkiness that naturally comes from handbuilding, because it gives each piece a genuine, human character. The white speckled glaze is paired with an unglazed rim for a soft, tactile finish.

The set includes three small taper candles made from 100% beeswax, hand‑dipped in my studio. They burn cleanly, with a gentle natural scent and don’t drip wax. Their size makes them perfect for quiet evenings, table settings, or thoughtful gifting.

While made to consistent dimensions, each candle holder will have small variations in shape, texture and glaze due to the handmade process. They are sold individually but can be collected to create a matching set.

Dishwasher safe, though handwashing is recommended to preserve the craftsmanship.

Large Nettle Mugs
£32.00

A hand‑built stoneware mug featuring a real nettle leaf imprint, crafted in small batches in my Sheffield studio.

  • Size: approx. 9 cm H × 9 cm W

  • Capacity: 400–450 ml

  • Material: Stoneware clay, shiny green glaze

  • Method: Hand‑built slab construction with pressed botanical texture

Each Large Nettle Mug is hand‑built in my Sheffield studio using stoneware clay and finished in a soft green glaze. Real nettle leaves are pressed into the clay to capture their delicate veins and edges so every mug carries a unique botanical imprint.

Designed for everyday use, these mugs balance a generous size with refined craftsmanship. The smooth inner coil, rounded rim, and carefully compressed walls create a comfortable, durable form that feels grounding in the hand.

Made in small batches, each piece reflects the time and intention behind slow craft.

Care: Dishwasher safe, though hand‑washing is recommended to preserve the glaze.

Textured Little Mug in Patchy Blue
£21.00

A small slab‑built stoneware mug with a gentle arched texture and a patchy blue glaze, handmade in Sheffield.

  • Dimensions: 5.5 cm × 5.5 cm

  • Capacity: approx. 100 ml (3.5 oz)

  • Weight: 125 g

  • Material: Stoneware clay

  • Finish: Patchy blue glaze, lead‑free and cadmium‑free

  • Construction: Slab‑built by hand

Each little mug is built and decorated by hand using stoneware clay, shaped with attention to form and everyday use. I keep the natural slight wonkiness that comes from handbuilding because it gives each piece a genuine, human character. Inside, a small coil is added at the base to soften the join. This helps reduce tannin and coffee staining over time and adds a subtle design detail.

The smaller size is ideal for a quick espresso or as a child’s first ceramic mug. This design is also available in a larger mug size. Although made to consistent dimensions, each mug will have small variations in shape, texture and glaze due to the handmade process. They are sold individually but can be collected to create a matching set.

Dishwasher safe, though handwashing is recommended to preserve the craftsmanship.
