Hero Mugs

We have ordered several of these mugs for ourselves as well as gifts. They are the perfect size, shape, and weight. The graphics are gorgeous, and the thumbprint pictures are such a sweet little detail. Some weird gremlin in my brain decides whether any mug is a "tea mug" or a "coffee mug", and Donovan mugs are among the few that qualify as both. As long as Donovan Pottery makes mugs we resonate with, we will be customers.

I bought this mug in memory of my father who loved music by Gordon Lightfoot. I originally saw this on Halloween & thinking about my dad prompted me to buy. Thank you for a wonderful product, I highly recommend this product!!!!

This is the mug of my dreams. This was also my first bought as a gift box, and the tea was amazing. Next time I'll have to get the full size instead of sample haha.

This is probably my third purchase from Donovan Pottery and I am still constantly in awe of their artistry and their customer service. The mugs, stickers, everything are so beautifully crafted and lovely for both use and decoration. Highly recommend treating yourself to a mug!

Excellent mug! Has a cozy Shire feel to it and such beautiful work that I had to buy another one to give as a gift.

So thrilled I managed to add this mug to my collection! I love HTTYD, and the artwork on the mug is perfect. Also loved the sticker and tea sample, such a lovely presentation box.

This may be my first one, but it won’t be my last. I’m a sucker for a nerdy coffee cup and needed something I could take to work with me that wouldn’t leave my coffee scorching hot for hours and unable to drink. This mug is exactly that! The travel lid works quite well to protect against spills and keeps the coffee warm, yet drinkable.

The design is beautiful. I got the forest green color and the gold lettering and design are gorgeous. The thumb print are with the amber is an adorable touch and not something you see on commercially made mugs. I plan to replace my commercial coffee cups with more from Donovan Pottery!

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 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!

This handmade Moria mug is absolutely stunning! The craftsmanship is top-notch, with great quality and detail. The condition was perfect upon arrival, and the emblem of Moria looks even better in person — the appearance really captures the spirit of Lord of the Rings. Totally worth the value; it’s now my favorite coffee mug. Highly recommend for any Tolkien fan or lover of unique, quality pieces!

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.

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!

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.
