Let customers speak for us
I got my husband the Boromir mug for Father's Day and he absolutely loves it. It's his daily driver now. It was nice to be able to give him an heirloom quality gift, and I loved that I could personalize the color.
I am thrilled with the quality and level of craftsmanship in my new mug. The throwing lines make mine unique to me. I’m very pleased with it.
I was so impressed with the service of Donovan Pottery! The quality was Amazing, everything was wrapped beautifully and arrived early. I had asked for it to arrive by a certain date since we would be traveling for my partner's birthday, and it arrived on time with a note saying "we've got you". Not only being able to get a handmade gift, but having the extra touch of a handwritten note impressed me even more. I highly recommend their work and team!

An absolutely amazing mug. It was a great birthday to give to my friend. He absolutely loves it
This mug is everything I was hoping for. I went with blue and 22k gold design and am well pleased indeed.
The mug itself is pleasing to hold, and pleasing heft without being heavy. It's also big enough to suit my desire for large mugs, without being totally unreasonable. The color is lovely with subtle variations from the glaze, and the design is lovely indeed.
I also ordered a lid with mine, and was surprised and pleased to note that it is custom-made item. It fits beautifully, and does a very good job of limiting mishaps.
I absolutely love Will's work. I have several of his mugs and they are all very special to me. Thank you for the beautifully crafted mug!
I was expecting a beautiful, handcrafted tumbler, but the reality was even better than my expectations!
This mug arrived the day after my daughter got surgery and the day before I got canned. Suffice it to say, I needed a pick me up. This mug is beautifully crafted—a true work of art. While I'm a bit down in the dumps, this mug is a reminder that with some faith and perseverance, I can indeed "rattle the stars."
The mugs are spectacular ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!! My son adores his and the craftsmanship and design are so stunning and thoughful 🙏🏼 Cant wait to order more!
This looks great on my Tolkien shelf!
My mugs arrived quickly and are beautifully made. They make a great addition to my collection, and I love the addition of the stickers.
This lid is durable and perfect for the mug I purchased with it. I've never been able to bring a mug out and about, so it's neat to have a way to bring my awesome Tolkien mug out of the house.
I’m in love with this mug. It is beautiful and thick enough to keep my coffee hot! It’s my new go-to mug, and I would highly recommend this artisan!
This mug is well made and so beautiful. This moment in the Lord of the Rings story has always meant so much to me. To have it represented so beautifully in a form where I can enjoy it with my daily tea gives me such encouragement! I can’t think of a better way to begin the day.
I got a mug for myself and had to get a few for my LotR-loving friends! They turned out so well, and I picked out designs/quotes that fit them best. I can't wait to give them to my loved ones. The mugs and designs are high quality, and the travel mug lid is a cool touch. Highly recommend!
