Notes from the house
Ribbed Black Pottery Mug
Handcrafted Clay Coffee Cup | Azamgarh Terracotta Art
This handcrafted black pottery mug features a bold ribbed texture band encircling its rounded body, creating both visual depth and a comfortable grip. The structured vertical ridges contrast with the smooth upper and lower sections, giving the mug a balanced modern-rustic character.
The deep matte-black finish is achieved through the traditional smoke-firing technique practiced in Nizamabad, Azamgarh. Each piece is shaped by hand, preserving subtle variations that distinguish authentic terracotta craftsmanship from factory-made ceramic mugs.
Its wide bowl form and sturdy handle make it suitable for coffee, tea, or everyday table styling.
