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.
Absolutely love it ❤️ I didn’t think anything would be as nice as last years but this is up there. It’s just a pity there’s no matching plate or bowl to go with it like last years
I think this is my 5 th Christmas mug. I’ve been collecting for 5 years. The gingerbread house is still my favourite but 2026 is lovely. Christmas trees and red ribbons. Looking forward to making the inaugural cup of tea in my new mug and decorating my Christmas tree in time for the Toy Show! I do have a little anxiety when using them knowing if one gets broken it’s not possible to replace it. When they’re gone they’re gone!
This is just as beautiful as the previous Christmas mugs. It will be a lovely addition to my collection. I am shocked at how much our unbelievably stupid tariffs added to the price of this item. If I didn’t dearly love my NM collection that I’ve been working on since the early 90s, I wouldn’t have spent over $120 for a mug.
I absolutely love it.
Every year my little pre Christmas pressie ' to me love me ' present.
I open it and have it ready for December 1st.
That day I dress the Christmas dresser and it is added to the collection .
I love this year's mug , it is simple and very Mosse, thankyou.
A very Happy Christmas and a happy healthy new year all at Mosse.
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.
