ABOUT LITTLE BROWN MUG
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.
Best seller - animal mugs from Les and Sally Sharpe
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 very own work of art.
Best seller - hand-printed mugs 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 or simply to let someone know you're thinking of them. Our range of gift card options cover every occasion and can carry a personal message - even in your own handwriting. Simply choose a mug. We'll do the rest.
Great retro design on this Christening mug from Repeat Repeat
In addition to mugs by art potters we also stock christening and children's mugs and specially commissioned mugs to celebrate love, engagement, marriage and anniversaries.
Best seller - modernist lines and colours from Lea Phillips
