{"product_id":"terracotta-coffee-mug-handmade-clay-barrel-woven-texture","title":"Terracotta Coffee Mug — Handmade Clay Barrel Mug with Woven Texture","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMost mugs in a cupboard are functionally interchangeable — pick one up, it’s the same as the last. This one isn’t built that way. A barrel-shaped body, wider through the middle and tapering slightly at the top and base, wrapped in a surface texture that mimics woven basketwork — horizontal bands of cross-hatching pressed into the clay by hand before firing, so the texture is structural rather than a printed pattern sitting on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAt four inches in both height and width, it’s a genuinely substantial mug rather than a dainty one — enough capacity for a proper morning coffee or a long chai without needing a refill halfway through. The barrel shape sits naturally between two hands, and the woven texture does real practical work beyond looking good: actual grip, actual tactile interest, the kind of thing a smooth glazed mug simply can’t offer no matter how well designed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNo paint, no glaze, no coating anywhere on this mug — what you’re holding is the clay itself, fired to that deep burnt-orange terracotta tone and left completely natural. The interior stays unglazed too, which changes how drinks taste in a way that’s hard to fully explain until you’ve had chai or plain water out of one — people who grew up drinking from clay vessels tend to notice the difference immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA strong daily-use mug and an equally strong gift for someone who cares about the physical objects they interact with every morning rather than treating them as disposable. It also holds up well next to other terracotta drinkware in a set, since the natural clay tone stays consistent across pieces even though the surface texture on this one is distinct from a plain ridged or smooth cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e — Unglazed terracotta clay, food-safe, chemical-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTexture\u003c\/b\u003e — Hand-pressed woven basket-weave pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGood for\u003c\/b\u003e — Coffee, chai, water, daily use, gifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eA texture your hand notices before your eyes do.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soul Of Soil","offers":[{"title":"2","offer_id":50704426402039,"sku":"SOS-033","price":80.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/2968\/7799\/files\/pomelli_photoshoot-2_c01b0a98-cfa5-40d7-beca-b810dd4f7968.jpg?v=1777208699","url":"https:\/\/www.soulofsoil.art\/en-nz\/products\/terracotta-coffee-mug-handmade-clay-barrel-woven-texture","provider":"Soul Of Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
