Deej Mug - Opal (Second)
Limited edition, handmade mug
Elevate your daily rituals with this delicate mug, handcrafted on my pottery wheel from a fine, porcelain-like stoneware clay. Glazed in an opalescent white glaze, the shimmering iridescence and elegance this limited edition mug is perfect for bringing a little bit of everyday luxury to your office or home.
Perfectly imperfect: The glaze on these mugs was slightly thickly applied creating some unintended pinholes on the handle (as pictured). The issue is purely aesthetic and in no way affects the food safety or durability of the mug.
Features:
The Om Symbol: Each mug is individually stamped with a tiny representation of the Om symbol. Sacred in many cultures and belief systems, Om is believed to bring peace, harmony, and balance, as well as protection from negative energies.
Delicate but durable: Each mug is handcrafted from start to finish, ensuring a unique and high-quality piece with its own distinct character. Made from high-quality stoneware, this mug is designed to last perfect for everyday use.
Perfect Capacity: With a 400 ml/12 ounce capacity, these mugs are slightly smaller than the Candace mug but with all its favourite features (comfy, well-balanced handle, gentle curved and tapered form, and drip free rim). Perfect for your daily coffee, tea, or any hot beverage of your choice.
Microwave and Dishwasher Safe: Offering convenience and ease of care, this mug is safe for both microwave and dishwasher use.

My ceramics are individually handcrafted from high quality stoneware clays, locally sourced within Europe. The natural raw materials I use to create my glazes are also sourced from local and/or European suppliers.
This means that although my clays and materials have to travel to get to me, they mainly go by land or sea, substantially lowering their carbon footprint.
As far as possible, I choose suppliers who prioritise sustainability and human rights in their supply chains, particularly for raw materials with complex footprints (e.g. cobalt).
-
Vitrification:
I fire all my stoneware ceramics to vitrification (depending on the type of clay, this means the pots go up to a top temperature of approx. 1285°C in the kiln during the glaze firing).
During the process of vitrification, the raw materials in the clay melt and fuse together, forming an almost glass-like ceramic with very low porosity and high durability.
This ensures that your ceramics will be as strong as possible and should last for many years to come.
Glazes:
All my glazes are carefully developed in-house and made from scratch in my pottery studio. Through meticulous application of glaze chemistry, I am able to ensure that my glazes are durable and food-safe, as well as, of course, being lead-free.

Your mug is dishwasher safe. Hand-washing is, of course, more gentle as dishwashers inevitably make micro scratches on the surfaces of any glassware and ceramics. But your mug is tough and durable - so it really isn’t necessary to hand wash it unless you would like to.
Your piece is also microwave safe. The only thing to be aware of is thermal shock - for example, taking a very hot mug or plate and placing it directly on a cold surface may cause either the mug or the surface to crack. However, your pot is strong and should be able to withstand most normal day-to-day use without any “babying”.
