Alo Stoneware Conical Mug Dark Brown

The ALO glazed stoneware mug has a minimalist shape and the wider base is designed to keep your drink hotter for longer.

All Aura Que stoneware ceramics pieces are unique, handmade on the potter's wheel from a mix of local Nepali clays. Any hand-carved details are added before each piece is dried in the sun, glazed and fired at high temperatures in large kilns. To maximise efficiency, not an inch of space is wasted in the kilns, which run for days at a time to maintain the heat. The high firing temperature makes Aura Que's stoneware ceramics dishwasher and microwave safe, and reassuringly chip resistant. Please note that slight variations are part of the appeal of their stoneware, so these pieces are not appropriate for those seeking production line uniformity. The richly coloured glazes used for their stoneware are sourced from North India.

These AURA QUE stoneware ceramics are handmade near Bhaktapur, Nepal by a family business run by two brothers, Santa and Laxmi. The production is organised by a World Fair Trade Organization certified collective in Kathmandu. AURA QUE started working with the group in 2018. AURA QUE products are individually handcrafted and the unique story behind each AURA QUE product enhances its charm!
