This mug is part of my experimental glaze series, combining playful surface design with functional kitchenware. The inspiration for this piece came from the inside of a kiwi fruit. I loved the contrast between the soft green centre, lighter outer tones, and the delicate pattern created by the seeds. Wanting to capture that natural colour palette within ceramics, I developed this piece using layered glazes and organic spotted detailing inspired by the fruit’s interior.
One of my favourite unexpected outcomes from this firing was that the “seeds” developed into a deep navy tone rather than black, giving the piece an extra level of uniqueness and depth. As with all pieces in this experimental series, each mug is slightly different, celebrating the unpredictable and exciting nature of glaze experimentation while still being made for everyday use.
A perfectly sized small mug, 7 cm tall with an 8.2 cm wide rim. Ideal for flat whites, cappuccinos, or a double espresso, its comfortable shape fits naturally in your hand and makes every coffee easy to enjoy. A practical, well-balanced choice for everyday use.
This mug is part of my experimental glaze series, combining expressive surface design with functional kitchenware. My current inspiration has come from a new orchid flower I’ve been growing. I was especially drawn to the contrast of its delicate white petals against the rich burgundy markings. Wanting to preserve that feeling within my ceramics, I created this piece using a glossy white glaze layered with deep burgundy speckling and soft, petal-like detailing.
Each mug in this series is an exploration of colour, texture, and natural form, making every piece slightly unique while still being made for everyday use.

This handmade ceramic cup is finished in a glacier green glaze with a glossy, mossy surface that pools and breaks across the form. In places, small crystals peek through the glaze.
The softly rounded shape, paired with an integrated thumb rest, makes this cup especially comfortable to hold.
This piece exists as a one-off.
About
I'm Emily, a ceramic artist based in South Wales with a studio practice and a First-Class BA (Hons) in Design Craft. My work has been exhibited across galleries throughout the UK and has reached collectors internationally.
My practice centres on the expressive possibilities of clay, with a sustained focus on glaze development — drawing from the natural world to create complex, layered surfaces that sit at the intersection of craft and design.
At the heart of my practice is the Glaze Experimental Series, a body of work rooted in the formulation of glazes from raw materials to engineer chemical reactions that replicate the patterns, textures, and phenomena found in the natural world.
I have developed a practice that applies these experimental glazes across both decorative and functional work, bringing together the demands of craft and the freedom of fine art. Whether a sculptural vessel or a functional piece for everyday use, each work carries the same commitment to surface, material, and the unpredictable beauty that emerges through the kiln.
