Grounded Form, Wheel Thrown

Quietly sculptural and thoughtfully balanced, the Grounded Minimalist Mug is wheel-thrown by the artisans of Gravesco Pottery in Indianapolis, Indiana. Designed for intentional living, this stoneware mug embraces subtle irregularities that reflect the maker’s hand—grounded in form, steady in use, and made to return to each day.

Soft Form, Honest Details

The smooth, matte surface reveals gentle variations from the throwing process, while the interior spiral preserves the rhythm of the wheel. A softly tapered lip creates a comfortable, dribble-free drinking experience, balancing function with quiet expression.

Designed for Everyday Use

An extruded handle with a natural thumb grip rests comfortably in hands of all sizes, with an indentation beneath for added knuckle room and easy balance—even when full. Offered in Black and Off-White, this mug moves easily from morning coffee to evening tea, settling naturally into daily life.
