The Bordallo Pinheiro Woods mug transforms the ritual of tea or coffee into a quiet celebration of nature and craft. More than a vessel, it’s a moment of pause, a small sculpture shaped by hand and inspired by the calm of the forest. With its earthy colors and subtle relief, it connects the senses to the outdoors, turning each sip into an experience of warmth and authenticity. Designed by Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro, it captures the harmony between artistry and everyday life that defines his timeless approach to design.

Handcrafted Heritage in Terracotta

Each handmade terracotta mug is carefully molded, glazed, and painted by skilled artisans in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. The natural terracotta gives the piece a tactile softness and a comforting weight, while the hand-painted details lend individuality to every surface. Slight variations in color or texture tell the story of craftsmanship, each Bordallo Pinheiro creation is a unique expression of human skill and artistic care. The result is a mug that feels alive in the hand, connecting tradition to contemporary pleasure.

Function and Comfort in Balance

Made for both beauty and convenience, the Woods mug is part of the brand’s hand painted complements collection. It is suitable for microwave use and dishwasher safe, offering ease of care for everyday moments. Like all fine ceramics, it should not be placed in the oven and is thermal shock NON resistant. These thoughtful details preserve its luminous glaze and sculptural relief, ensuring that the cup remains as durable as it is beautiful.

Nature’s Elegance in Every Detail

Gentle curves, embossed textures, and natural tones make this forest inspired ceramic mug a tactile delight.
