This mug is great for those who do not want a big travel mug, but just need something to securely hold their beverage. It may not fit in your car cup holder, it does work for larger well style ones. Please take note of the measurements to be sure it will fit – the widest part of the mug is 1 1/2″ up from the bottom and has a diameter of 3 1/2″.

Crafted for everyday rituals, this 14 oz Bronze-Black Glazed Pottery Travel Mug combines the timeless strength of stoneware with a dark, moody elegance. Each mug is hand-thrown in our Colorado studio and finished in our signature metallic bronze glaze—an earthy, smoky combination of matte and sheen, accented by subtle flashes of black and copper. Paired with a snug black silicone lid, it’s both a beautiful and practical companion for your favorite drinks on the go.

This mug is made for coffee and tea lovers who want their daily beverage to be housed in a unique and well crafted vessel. Its small-batch nature makes every piece slightly different, with varied glaze patterns and textures that reveal the hand of the maker.

Distinctive Form, Enduring Finish

The shape of this mug is slightly rounded—like a modern goblet —designed to feel secure and balanced in your palm. It tapers gently toward the rim and base for a refined silhouette that enhances both visual appeal and comfort. The 14 oz size is ideal for morning coffee, afternoon matcha, or evening herbal tea.

The bronze glaze make a perfect gift for those celebrating their 8th, 9th or 19th wedding anniversaries – the years that are for bronze and pottery in traditional anniversary gifts.

Key Features:

• 14 oz capacity – perfect for most daily drinks

• Includes BPA-free black silicone lid for travel-friendly use

• Microwave and dishwasher safe (lid should be removed before microwaving)

• Lead- and cadmium-free glazes

• Fired to over 2200°F for long-lasting durability

• Handmade in Colorado – no molds, no shortcuts

The black silicone lid fits securely over the rim without snapping inside, which reduces stress on the pottery and is more comfortable for sipping. The lid has a vent hole and sip opening for smooth, spill-resistant drinking.

A Note on Handmade Variations

Each mug is shaped, glazed, and fired by hand, meaning that no two pieces will be exactly the same. Some will have more sheen, others a darker matte finish. Glaze movement, subtle drips, and variation in tone are all part of the beauty of small-batch ceramic work.

At Sarah Welch Pottery, we never use commercial molds or premade bisqueware. Every piece is crafted from raw materials in our Colorado studio with time-honored techniques, honest tools, and care in every detail.
