Purple Teal Sun 24 oz Travel Coffee Mug – Handmade Ceramic Tumbler with Lid

The Purple Teal Sun Travel Mug is a bold and radiant companion for your daily rituals. Handcrafted and high-fired in our studio in Jaroso, Colorado, this 24 oz ceramic tumbler features a sculpted sun medallion, finished in translucent celadon green glaze that rises proudly from the surface. The mug’s body blends a rich, glossy purple base into ocean teal at the top—evoking skies at dusk and sunrise in a single vertical sweep.

Comfortably sized for a long commute or a slow morning, this mug includes a snug-fitting, BPA-free silicone lid and a shape that fits most standard cupholders. The hourglass silhouette makes it easy to grip, while the sun medallion offers both texture and a grounding point for your fingers. Durable, dishwasher safe, and microwave safe without the lid, this piece merges utility with joy in every detail.

Our Process: Color & Symbol in Balance
This travel mug is hand cast with our own clay slip into our own molds designed and manufactured in our workshop. The mug is then bisque-fired, dipped in studio-mixed purple and teal glazes, and fired again to vitrification.

The final effect is always unique—colors may break darker or lighter across the form, and the medallion might glow differently depending on its placement and glaze thickness. Each mug is a functional piece of ceramic art—one you can carry with you.

Made in Jaroso, Colorado
This piece is made by hand in Sarah Welch Pottery’s family-run studio in the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado. Sarah has been crafting thoughtful, small-batch pottery for over two decades—always with an eye toward utility, beauty, and personal meaning. Our shop celebrates slow making, small forms, and the rituals of everyday life.

You can find more handmade mugs, miniature treasures, and unique pieces in our Etsy storefront.

Please Note: Each Piece is Unique
Because each mug is individually handcrafted, glazed, and fired, expect natural variations in glaze tone and color blending. These subtle differences are part of what makes every piece a one-of-a-kind work of pottery.
