The Double Shot

My husband and I LOVE red rising. And we also love red Murphy art. My husband’s birthday isn’t until next month, but I was so excited to gift this mug that I couldn’t wait! THE CRAFTSMANSHIP IS IMPECCABLE. Thank you for creating such a beautiful piece. My fortune always fine you Will Donovan! Needless to say, he loves it and will likely be using it in the morning.

I’d been waiting to pull the trigger (the knife? The astral paw?) on this for a while and I’m so happy I did. The mug is beautifully crafted, sturdy, with elegant and ergonomic details (the handle is actually really comfortable to hold).

I collect handmade ceramic mugs, and it takes a special one to convince me to add it to my (already very large) collection. But once I saw this Red Rising collaboration, I knew I needed one of them. RR is my favorite series, but I haven’t found a mug that wasn’t mass produced or from Amazon. I am soooo happy I came across this potter on instagram! This mug is very well made, I love the shape in my hand when drinking my coffee, and the little details like the texture on the inside of the mug is an excellent touch. I also got the travel silicone lid, and I was very pleased with how well it fits and is actually spill proof. I have taken it to work 2 days in a row and drank it on my car ride, with no issues. This was my first purchase from this shop, but it probably won’t be the last. Thanks so much for my amazing Ares mug. Hail libertas!

I finally ordered this mug after staring at it on a wishlist since it was first released. It’s an excellent size and the handle feels smooth and even (a bad handle is a sensory nightmare for me so this is an important feature of a good mug). I love it!

The Morning Star of my coffee routine!

I LOVE that I was able to snag one of these limited edition mugs. This is my second purchase from DP and their mugs are easily my favorite options for my hot tea in the morning.

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!
