Start­ing my morn­ing with a hand­made ceram­ic mug is one of my great joys. The artistry and charm of these hand­craft­ed ves­sels offer an easy way to bright­en your day.  The Mag­ic Shop, run by hus­band and wife team Mary and Shel­by Ulibar­ri, cre­ates tum­bler-style cups and cof­fee mugs fea­tur­ing styl­ized flo­rals, hands, rain­bows, and more. You can’t be upset when drink­ing from them! (Okay, you can, but it’s much harder.)

Using stoneware clay, The Mag­ic Shop slip-casts their cre­ation and then sand it before and after fir­ings to ensure a smooth fin­ish. Illus­tra­tions are paint­ed on the clay sur­face and masked off as the cup is dipped in a glossy glaze. After that, it is fired again (to 2,165 degrees Fahrenheit).

The Mag­ic Shop sells their work on Etsy. They are work­ing to restock their mugs, and you can fol­low them on Insta­gram for updates.
