Ultimate Custom Takeaway
PLEASE READ BELOW PRIOR TO PURCHASING.
Each mug is made by hand and made individually, these pieces are one of one and each have their own unique aesthetic imperfections.
Custom handmade ceramics go through many fragile stages and vigorous firing process which can result in small aesthetic differences and imperfections.
Text
Here you can chose what text you want and where you want it placed, choose Yes if you
want to add text to your mug, this will provide you with options and placements.
Gems
Mug Gems are our standard 2D gems that are added to the outside of the mug with one
on the inside bottom. Gems are come in bundles of 6 and spread around the mug. You
can choose multiple gems, these will be shared between the 6. Please note that Gold will not be added to the inside of the mug, if you have chosen Gold for your gems, we will remove the inside bottom gem.

Zodiac Symbol.

design. Please choose the left hand option if you want a left handed mug. You

handmade & slowmade
our bespoke mugs are made with a careful hand, every single detail is carved and stamped by Mollie and the naetive team in our welsh Pontypridd studio. Your piece is a one of one and will be unique to you.
it's a patient process..
Custom and bespoke pieces can take up to 8 weeks to make, we dry them incredibly slowly to avoid cracking and warping at greenware.
Even if we do everything perfectly imperfections happen. It's the natural process of ceramics and cracks can occur at any stage due to the ferocity of the kilns.
Most pieces coming out beautifully and on time, however, we're unable to predict how the firing will go and very few orders may need to be touched up or remade.
We hope you love it as much as us..
We're incredibly proud of what we make, it's an expensive, difficult and skilled process and we don't want to fall short. We'll be in touch if your piece has not met our expectations and offer you a refund or remake. Remakes can cause a delay.
