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.
I just love having a cup of coffee in them. They give me a little lift. I feel like I'm out in a fancy café which is great since it's nearly been a year since I have been to one.
Love these mugs. Perfect size for a decent cup of coffee or tea.
As always the quality and craftsmanship is top notch as you would expect.
Saving for my next purchase soon!
It’s just what I was looking for! The quality of Nicholas Mosse pottery is exceptional, and I look forward to gatherings with friends to spread this news! Thanks so much.
I’m waiting to use my mug when the snow is gone and the flowers of spring have started to pop up. I change out my Nicholas Mosse mugs seasonally so I get to enjoy all the beautifully designed patterns.
These mugs make me happy every morning -- and not just because they are the vehicle for caffeine delivery. They're beautiful, and they have such a nice feel in the hand.
I bought this mug as a gift and it was perfect! I was not aware that the recipient already had a bowl of yours and in the exact same design :) She was over the moon with the mug.
I shall be gifting more of your products to brighten peoples' days!
I recently bought 3 mugs - large They are beautiful and go very well with my large amount of mugs - small and large and plates I have been a collector for many years and am looking forward now to a visit during summer
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.
