A hand-thrown stoneware mug finished in Gwayi Green, a rich green glaze I make from Gwayi clay, Mopane ash and Zimbabwean feldspar.
Each mug is individually thrown, trimmed, glazed and reduction fired. The interaction between the clay, glaze and firing creates subtle variations in colour and surface, from deeper greens to warmer iron tones. Natural iron in the clay can also produce fine speckles across the glaze, giving each mug its own character. No two pieces will be exactly alike.

Dimensions: Approximately 9.5 cm H × 8 cm W
Capacity: Approximately 330 ml
Dimensions and capacity may vary slightly between individual pieces.
These mugs are handmade in small quantities, so variations in shape, glaze surface and colour are part of the character of the collection. Natural iron speckling and subtle changes in the glaze may appear from one piece to another. The mug you receive may differ slightly from the one pictured while retaining the same overall character of the Gwayi Green glaze.
This is dense stoneware, made for everyday use. I recommend washing it by hand, which helps to preserve the glaze and finish over time.
As with all handmade ceramics, please take care around hard surfaces and avoid sudden thermal changes. The Gwayi Green glaze may develop subtle changes in appearance with use, particularly around areas that come into regular contact with tea or coffee.

Collect your order directly from the Wenwe Ceramics Studio in Bulawayo. Once your order is ready, I’ll arrange a suitable collection time.
Community-Based Delivery — $5 packaging | Zimbabwe only
I can explore trusted networks to get your ceramics to you. For example, if you’re in Victoria Falls or Harare, I can look for someone already travelling in that direction through my own contacts or local groups. The $5 fee covers secure packaging for your ceramics.
Swift Depot Collection — $35 delivery & packaging | Zimbabwe only
I can send your order through Swift to the Swift depot closest to you. The $35 shipping fee covers the Swift delivery and the secure packaging. You will collect your parcel from the selected depot once notified. Orders are generally sent on Mondays, as Swift does not operate on weekends.
South Africa — Coming Soon
For customers in South Africa, I’m developing a delivery option that will bring your ceramics into South Africa and then send them by courier to your nearest courier collection point or to your address. In the meantime, please contact me.
International Orders
For now, I sell mainly within Zimbabwe. Sending a single ceramic piece abroad from here can cost considerably more than the piece itself, so international shipping is not available at checkout. If you are outside Zimbabwe and would still like a piece, please contact me before ordering. I will work out the most practical route and what it would cost, so that you can decide with the full price in front of you.
