A small slab‑built stoneware candle holder paired with three handmade 100% beeswax taper candles, crafted in Sheffield.
Candle holder dimensions: approx. 7 cm diameter × 2 cm high
Candle dimensions: 10 cm × 1 cm
Candle weight: approx. 10 g each
Burn time: approx. 2 hours per candle
Material: Stoneware clay
Finish: White speckled glaze with unglazed rim, lead‑free and cadmium‑free
Includes: Three small beeswax taper candles, hand‑dipped
This tiny candle holder is slab built from stoneware clay, shaped with care and a focus on simple, functional form. I embrace the slight wonkiness that naturally comes from handbuilding, because it gives each piece a genuine, human character. The white speckled glaze is paired with an unglazed rim for a soft, tactile finish.
The set includes three small taper candles made from 100% beeswax, hand‑dipped in my studio. They burn cleanly, with a gentle natural scent and don’t drip wax. Their size makes them perfect for quiet evenings, table settings, or thoughtful gifting.
While made to consistent dimensions, each candle holder will have small variations in shape, texture and glaze due to the handmade process. They are sold individually but can be collected to create a matching set.
Dishwasher safe, though handwashing is recommended to preserve the craftsmanship.
A large slab‑built stoneware mug with a gentle arched texture and a patchy blue glaze, handmade in Sheffield.
Dimensions: 9 cm high × 8.5–9 cm diameter
Capacity: approx. 360–400 ml
Material: Stoneware clay
Finish: Patchy blue glaze, lead‑free and cadmium‑free
Construction: Slab‑built by hand
Each mug is built by hand from stoneware clay, shaped with attention to form and everyday use. I keep the natural slight wonkiness that comes from hand building because it gives each piece a genuine, human character. Inside, a small coil is added at the base to soften the join. This helps reduce tannin and coffee staining over time and adds a subtle design detail.
The large size is designed to feel generous without becoming heavy, making it comfortable to hold for your morning coffee or a big cup of herbal tea. Although made to consistent dimensions, each mug will have small variations in shape, texture and glaze due to the handmade process.

A small slab‑built stoneware mug with a gentle arched texture and a patchy blue glaze, handmade in Sheffield.
Dimensions: 5.5 cm × 5.5 cm
Capacity: approx. 100 ml (3.5 oz)
Weight: 125 g
Material: Stoneware clay
Finish: Patchy blue glaze, lead‑free and cadmium‑free
Construction: Slab‑built by hand
Each little mug is built and decorated by hand using stoneware clay, shaped with attention to form and everyday use. I keep the natural slight wonkiness that comes from handbuilding because it gives each piece a genuine, human character. Inside, a small coil is added at the base to soften the join. This helps reduce tannin and coffee staining over time and adds a subtle design detail.
The smaller size is ideal for a quick espresso or as a child’s first ceramic mug. This design is also available in a larger mug size. Although made to consistent dimensions, each mug will have small variations in shape, texture and glaze due to the handmade process. They are sold individually but can be collected to create a matching set.
