Our Large Mugs are among the most versatile of our kitchen pottery pieces. The variety of uses continue to amaze! Gift to a loved one as a gesture of appreciation or use to share hot cocoa with friends on a cold winter’s day – these mugs can do it all.
Handcrafted in the heart of Ireland, these mugs are durable enough for everyday use with a luxurious edge for any special occasions you may host.
The Forget Me Not Pattern has a cool palette, perfect for any season or event. The design mixes beautiful blue hues together with bright yellows and subtle greens for a striking effect.

To keep it as beautiful and pristine as possible, we recommend that you follow the following advice:
• Avoid rough handling and sudden changes in temperature as this may cause the appearance of fine lines on the surface known as crazing. Crazing does NOT affect the life or the usefulness of the pottery, and some people feel this adds to the character and appeal of the pottery. It is nothing to worry about.
• Our pottery is dishwasher safe; please stack it carefully to avoid knocking.
• Our pottery is microwave safe but continuous use should be avoided.
• Stubborn stains may be removed by soaking in a mild bleach solution.
• For our ovenware pottery (and also our tabletop ware), avoid metal scourers or harsh abrasives.
• Only use our special Nicholas Mosse Ovenware in your oven, avoid direct heat and do not use on a hob or near a naked flame
All Nicholas Mosse products are well packed in ecologically friendly, recycled packing. Insurance is included in the shipping charge. A gift card can be enclosed with gift wrapped purchases if you wish.
The forget me not mug was bought to replace a similar cup sadly broken. We have a fairly large collection of Nicolas Mosse products, having purchased directly from 2008.
These mugs are a stable with my wife as her go to for any hot drink.
Absolutely love this mug! Was a gift for a friend and they even packed an extra bag to gift it in! Great customer service, gorgeous products and so happy to supporting a local Irish business! We have bought from Nicholas Mosse before and 100% would again!!

Four Forget me Not mugs...arrived in perfect condition...as always...part of an engagement present...loved by the lucky recipients.
I miss visiting your premises in Bennetsbridge.
I love my cup of Barry’s tea and very particular on the cup I use so I treated myself to one of your mugs for work but it never made it it outside my door, it is the only cup I now use at home, I will have to treat myself again soon.
I bought after this year’s Annual Remembrance Mass for a neighbour, who lost their child to meningitis some years ago and whose organs were donated.
Forget me not!
I live in North Carolina, US & first learned of Nicholas Mosse pottery at The Saltbox which sold your pottery. Since then, husband & I visited your pottery in Ireland. I have lots of the reindeer pottery for Christmas use as well as lots other pieces. I love your pottery & designs!!
I now have six large mugs in three different designs. All the designs are attractive and I had great difficulty in choosing. They are sturdy, practical and pretty. In fact I am using one now having a mug of tea whilst typing this. I will be back later in the Spring for a salad bowl.
Every piece of Nicholas Mosse undergoes a 20-step, handmade process.
Basic Forming
Clay comes from the ground and we mix different sorts of clays to create our own, high quality earthenware. We dig, blunge, sieve, filter and pug the clay to form extruded logs of wet clay, which are then cut into the exact size and weight for each item. The thrower takes this lump and centers and forms it on an electric potter’s wheel.
Wet Clay or Greenware
The little jug body is dried to a "leather hard" stage, and then a handle is attached to it with a glue-like substance called slip. Small imperfections are fettled and cleared away to make the pot ready for the next stage.
Slip Dipping
When it reaches a very particular level of hardness, the little jug can be lowered into the liquid slip bucket. This type of slip is made from our same clay but with more water and less iron, to make it whiter. The slip is viscous and makes another pot cleaning necessary.
Bisque Kiln Firing
Once again the jug needs to harden even more, so it can withstand being stamped with our Nicholas Mosse logo. It then waits for its turn in the kiln and receives a first firing or ‘bisque’ firing, which removes all water from the clay and makes it hard and ready to decorate.
Decorating
Nicholas Mosse Pottery has a large group of shapes, from mugs to plates to bowls, which are all hand decorated in one of our 10 or so patterns. Each motif is applied by hand, one at a time, in different underglaze colours. The pots are then dipped into clear glaze and fired again.
