What to get your sister for her birthday! Well she loves chats, chilling on the couch after a long day and she loves cups of tea. Charlies mugs hit the spot. The best vessel for cups of tea or hot chocolate is this one. A gorgeous pressie ( & I have one myself too ) Highly recommend.
We’ve always loved Charlie Mahon’s pieces ever since we first came across them in the now closed Finders Keepers in Waterford.
These mugs were a lovely little wedding anniversary present to ourselves. Elmarie was so lovely to deal with too. We’ll definitely be back for a few more bits in the future.
Fantastic bit of art.

Meet the Maker
Charlie Mahon, Irish Ceramic Artist
Charlie and Elmarie in their shop in Cork’s English Market.
Charlie designs, makes and hand-paints every piece himself in his studio in Little Island, Cork. His designs – the Mackerel, the Grá Heart, the Green Heart and the Witty Sheep – come from his own imagination and from Irish life: the sea, the countryside, and a really good sense of humour.
Elmarie is Charlie’s greatest fan, and she keeps everything else running: the shop in the English Market, the orders, and the picking and packing, so every piece reaches you safely.
Charlie’s pottery is made to be used every day, given as gifts and kept for years.
Inside Our Studio: The Art & Heart of Irish Ceramics
How Our Irish Ceramics Are Made
Every mug and bowl is thrown by hand on the potter’s wheel, every plate and platter is shaped over moulds Charlie made himself, and every piece is hand-painted in Cork, Ireland, fusing Irish tradition with playful contemporary design. Our process guarantees true originality—no two pieces are ever the same.
See our creative process, from raw clay to finished piece. Each ceramic is infused with our love for Irish culture, family, and artistry.
