A large bubble-form mug in warm toffee coloured clay, featuring a hand-painted scarlet meander that flows across the exterior, handle, and interior.

The natural clay remains exposed on the outside, creating a tactile contrast against the glossy red glaze. The handle and rounded silhouette make the mug comfortable to hold and use. An MJM signature design, entirely handmade, each one a little bit different from the last.

MJ creates each piece by hand in her home studio in Amsterdam. Working in small batches allows her to stay closely involved with each stage of the process, from forming to finishing.

Using primarily the pottery wheel, she shapes and trims the clay, adding surface details such as carvings and handles before allowing each piece to dry. It is then fired in a kiln at 1000°C to become bisqueware. From there, each piece is glazed by hand, often using painting techniques and glaze experiments that give every mug its own character and surface variation. A final firing at 1220°C transforms it into durable stoneware.

MJ’s process is intentionally slow, hands-on, and intuitive, allowing each piece to develop its own expression. Painted swirl lines are applied intuitively in the moment, capturing the interaction between artist and clay through each brushstroke. Subtle variations and small imperfections are part of the making process, reflecting the human hand behind each object.
