Here at Little Brown Mug we have assembled a unique and stunning collection of handmade and hand painted mugs by art potters. From the English slipware and terracotta tradition to modernist lines and colours, our mugs are something permanent in a throwaway culture - an affordable, functional, fun work of art.

New colours from Lea Phillips

Every mug by one of these potters comes with a free catalogue postcard listing the artist, date and details of materials, decoration, glaze, firing etc. - a record of your own work of art.

Animal designs from Brixton Pottery

We have also begun to stock mugs from artisan potteries both here in the UK and in Europe at prices that seriously rival the bland mass-produced mugs found in department stores everywhere.

A good mug makes a perfect present - either as a small indulgence for yourself or for a loved one or friend; a wonderful way to celebrate a milestone in life - exam success, going away to college, a new job, a new home; to say thank you to an inspirational teacher or colleague...
