The original handmade mug decorated with smileys is the very reflection of the Grandchose spirit: objects that are serious in how they’re made, yet light and offbeat in their look. I draw each smiling face by hand with my blue pencil on the raw clay, giving the line that “pencil-drawn,” lively finish I love so much. This playful motif contrasts beautifully with the mineral, raw feel of light beige stoneware. This decor choice isn’t random: it’s meant to create a joyful object that brings a touch of light and whimsy to your kitchen or your desk.

An original handmade mug for a joyful everyday

For this original handmade mug, I paid special attention to ergonomics. The handle was designed with a fluid line that naturally fits your hand, making every sip more pleasant and comfortable. With a generous 38 cl capacity, it’s the ideal size for your end-of-day herbal teas or your morning coffees. The 10.5 cm height and 8.5 cm diameter give it a balanced silhouette—both modern and rooted in pottery tradition. The finish is a lead-free clear glaze that protects the smileys while still letting you feel the stoneware texture under your fingers. It’s an object that leaves no one indifferent and invites a smile at first glance.

The promise of sustainable French craftsmanship

By choosing this original handmade mug, you support local know-how and mindful production in Provence. Unlike mass-produced tableware, each mug has its own nuances, showing the artisan’s hand at work. The very high-temperature firing guarantees rock-solid strength: this mug is made to last and to stand up to intensive everyday use. It goes in the dishwasher with no problem, making it easy to care for without ever dulling the brightness of its motifs. Giving it as a gift—or treating yourself—means choosing a more human, more sustainable way to consume, while ensuring a happier everyday thanks to a unique piece with a true soul.
