The Rose Garden Mug — 15oz Hand-Painted Ceramic

Big enough for a proper latte. Pretty enough to be the reason you get up.

Most mugs are 8 to 11 ounces, which is fine for espresso and useless for a matcha latte once you have added ice and milk. This one holds 15 ounces, so a full bowl of whisked matcha plus milk fits without a careful pour and without a puddle on the counter.

The roses are hand painted, which means yours will not be identical to the photograph. Slight differences in the brushwork are the point rather than a flaw.

The details

• 15 oz capacity. Room for matcha and milk, a generous pour-over, or an unreasonable amount of cereal.
• Hand-painted floral pattern on glazed white ceramic, with a warm terracotta interior and footed base.
• Wide mouth. Enough width that you can whisk matcha directly in it if you are travelling light, though a bowl is easier.
• Comfortable loop handle, sized for a whole hand rather than two fingers.

Why we picked this one

We wanted a mug that felt like part of the ritual rather than a container. Plain white restaurant mugs are practical and forgettable. This one has enough character that people use it deliberately, which is the entire idea behind a slow morning, and it is still a mug you can put in the dishwasher on a weekday.

Care

Dishwasher and microwave safe. Hand washing will keep the painted detail sharper for longer, but it is built to be used rather than displayed.

Shipping

Ships from a US warehouse. Most orders arrive within 2 to 5 business days.

If it arrives broken

Ceramic travels well until it doesn't. Send a photo within 7 days and we'll ship a replacement free. You won't need to send the broken one back and you won't need to argue about it.
