From our studio in Sydney we hand make every porcelain piece, actively building relationships with the people who buy and love our products across the world.
Sustainability is built into our design DNA. Our products eschew seasonality, complement any interior, and are made to last. All new additions to our range are designed to be useful and complement existing designs. We believe in conscious and responsible consumption, and this starts with good design.

Hand blown glass Tumblers
Tsugaru Vidro glassware is hand blown in heritage workshops in the region of Aomori, on the northern tip of Japan’s main island. Originally this technique was used for glass fishing floats, however as they slowly transitioned to plastic floats, the artisans began to use the same glass-blowing techniques to make refined and delicate glassware for the home.
We designed the Tumbler Small on our porcelain Latte Cup and Tumbler Large on our Beaker Cup to accommodate your daily needs from sparkling water to cocktails.

Are Mud Australia drinking vessels dishwasher and microwave safe?
Porcelain drinkware:
Our porcelain drinkware collection is food safe and can, with some care, be used in the oven, microwave and dishwasher.
To ensure your porcelain does not chip in the dishwasher, gently place each piece on the racks and ensure they are not touching other items.
If you don't have a dishwasher, hand wash with warm soapy water and carefully stack in a dish rack to dry with a clear space between each item.
Caution should be taken with sudden changes in temperature (eg. from freezer to oven / from oven to cold bench) as this may cause thermal shock which will damage your porcelain. Always place hot items onto either a cloth, wood, wire racking, or our Terrazzo Trivets to cool porcelain from the oven.
Glassware:
Whilst our glassware can be cleaned in the dishwasher, as a handmade product we recommend that it be hand washed with a neutral detergent. We ask that you treat this delicate glassware with care and avoid stacking. Due to the inherent nature of its production there may be slight variations in thickness and colour.
Can I buy your tumbler glasses in a set?
While we don’t currently offer a glassware set, you are welcome to add the items you require to the cart to create your own. If you need assistance, please contact us and we’d be happy to help.
