Our Large Mugs have a timeless design and impeccable finish. The 20 step process each mug undergoes ensures each pottery piece is as durable as it is beautiful, making them perfect for adding elegance to your daily routine or special events.
Use them to brighten up your morning with a delicious cup of coffee, to serve some very lucky guests afternoon tea or even gift to a loved one; the choices are endless!
The Fuchsia Pattern features delicate flowers decorating the rim of the mug. The work is incredibly intricate and as each piece is hand-painted, no two blooms are alike.

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.
Such a pretty pattern. I hadn’t realised how lovely this pattern is and how it literally makes you smile each time you have a cup of tea or coffee. Added to my Nicholas Mosse collection

We use yours mugs each day sinds a long time! .Thank fir the beauty !
Perfect size for coffe or tea at
I love this pattern. It reminds me of our hiking vacation in Kerry 5 years ago. Bought it for four persons for breakfast 5 years ago, when we visited the pottery during our holidays. It is in permanent use - and really stable.
HappilyI can order from Germany. Shipping works fast and perfect.
I have bought the fuschia mugs for my niece for Christmas. I have 2 that were given as a present and she always admires them when she visits. As do others who call in for a quick coffee! I love all your pottery! I have also been gifted one of your large bowls and a small one of the fuschia. They too are much admired.
This mug is gorgeous. I love how vibrant the colours are and the modern style of this pattern. Shipping was very quick for coming so far. I am new to this pottery but have every intention of collecting one of every design I can get my hands on.
Bought to replace one bought over 20yrs ago - identical bar the stamp at the bottom, lovely to be able to still have the mug even after accidentally dropping the original
jaw dropping piece when you open the package, pictures do not do them justice.
little on the expensive side but it is understandable with the quality and being handcrafted. slightly heavy but that is personal, others love the weight. Will be ordering more!
I love my Nicholas Mosse pottery. I started with a mug for myself about 2 yrs ago and then a friend sent a photo of some baking he'd done and there in the photo was a Nicholas Mosse butter dish so I dropped lots of hints to my family and i got one as a christmas gift. I love it so much , its on my kitchen worktop all the time or on my table, I use it every day and haven't tired of looking at it. so since then my family have given me more pieces as birthday and mothers day gifts and I use them all the time and when not in use they look great on my kitchen dresser.
Nice mug. I bought it as a gift 🎁. Sadly it came in bubble wrap! Bit of a let down. Given the price of the mug I was expecting it in a small box. A basic cardboard box would have made all the difference and created a better impression.
Sent as a Christmas present to my sister in the USA. She was delighted to receive it along with a matching plate. A little bit of home delivered in less than 72 hours as promised 😀
We have been collecting Nicholas Mosse Pottery since our first whirlwind visit to Ballymaloe House in 1995. To my husband and me, NM pottery is synonymous with Ireland and have added pieces over the past 25 years.
We have bought pieces at the store front, had multiple items sent to us here in Vermont,and have had 2 special orders sent...all excellent experiences.
As soon as we get a vaccination, whether a few months or year, the first item on our todo list is to once again visit your lovely country and pottery.

Very pleased with my mugs on the whole, came quickly, very well packaged. One small detail that could be better is that they don't stack very well. It would be nice if they did stack securely to make more space in the cupboard. They were quite expensive but are good solid quality, beautifully decorated & hopefully the finish will last well.
The fuschia mug has a gorgeous design and so reminiscent of Ireland. Have had some lovely holidays on Inishboffin with fuschia everywhere. Lovely blend of colours and such an ergonomic design. The mugs make wonderful presents for my Irish friends abroad.
I have been collecting Nicholas Mosse Pottery for years and just love it. My favourites are Old Rose, Fuchsia and Apple. The fact that it is Irish Pottery, hand made and beautifully designed are just some of the reasons why I buy it. I visited the factory/showrooms some years past and it was a great opportunity to see the pottery being made by amazing crafts people. Continued success to the Nicholas Mosse.
I come across your pottery in the Homes and Antiques magazine some months ago. When I had a look at your wares on the webstite I was determined to treat myself. I have now bought 2 large mugs and am planning to ask for more for my February birthday. I would like eight in all of four different designs. They are well designed with really pretty bright colours. I think they would look well in any kitchen whatever the design.
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.
