Humble Earth Mug Extra Large Blues

This extra-large hand-thrown mug or soup bowl is a beautifully functional piece of pottery that combines generous proportions with serene, layered glazing. Shaped on the potter’s wheel from stoneware clay, the form balances a wide, rounded body with a substantial base and a broad, comfortable handle—perfect for cradling with both hands.

The surface is finished in a blend of blue glazes, flowing together in soft, natural gradients. Shades range from deep ocean blue and indigo at the base to lighter hues like sky blue and misty turquoise near the rim. The glazing technique allows for fluid movement and variation, with some areas appearing almost watercolor-like, while others show darker, inky pools where the glaze has collected.

The interior mirrors the same palette, with a glossy, food-safe finish that enhances both beauty and functionality. Subtle ridges from the wheel-throwing process may be visible beneath the glaze, adding tactile interest and highlighting its handmade origin. A few natural drips or glaze runs may grace the sides, creating a sense of organic motion.

Whether used for hearty soups, morning coffee, or a generous serving of tea, this oversized mug or bowl offers both comfort and artistry. Its calming blue tones and handcrafted presence make it a favorite piece for slow, mindful moments.
