Shoppy Handmade Large Ceramic Tea Mug with Strainer – Retro Pottery Tea Cup for Home & Office

Indian tea lovers, elevate your daily brew with this handmade large ceramic tea mug with strainer. The retro pottery design gives each mug a unique, artisanal character – no mass-produced uniformity here. The generous capacity means fewer refills during long work sessions. Drop loose leaves into the strainer, pour hot water, let steep, then lift out the strainer – perfect tea without fiddly teapots or paper bags. Great for green tea (needs cooler water), black tea (bold), or herbal blends. Makes a thoughtful gift for colleagues (business gifts), tea-loving moms, or anyone who deserves a better desk mug.

📌 Handmade ceramic construction – wheel-thrown or hand-sculpted, natural variations in glaze and shape are features, not flaws
📌 Large capacity – approx 12-16 ounces (350-475 ml), significantly larger than standard teacups
📌 Removable strainer – fine mesh (stainless steel) or ceramic with holes, allows leaves to expand fully
📌 Retro pottery finish – earthy glazes (brown, green, blue, or cream), textured or smooth, rustic charm
📌 Heat-retaining ceramic – keeps tea warm longer than glass or thin porcelain
📌 Comfortable handle – wide enough for fingers, sturdy for large mug weight when full
📌 Lid included? (Check specific model) – some come with a small lid to keep heat in while steeping
📌 Dishwasher safe (check glaze) – most are, but hand-washing recommended to preserve handmade finish
📌 Multi-use: tea mug, coffee mug (use strainer for loose coffee, or remove for regular coffee), soup mug
📌 Great for office desk – no need for communal teapot, brew single servings
