5 out of 5 starsOnce again some fabulous mugs from Ros! I ordered two custom mugs for my mom and mom-in-law for Mother’s Day. I was able to customize the colors and handles so it matched their styles the best. My mom loves sunflowers, so the cream was a perfect color for her the way it turned into a soft yellow! My mom was surprised at just how much the mug holds! Excited to give my MIL her mug soon :)

5 out of 5 starsRos was incredibly helpful and took additional photos to show me more of the item. The item shipped quickly and was packaged with such care. A handmade note and a sweet sprig of lavender added a unique touch that you can’t get anywhere besides an artist’s personal shop. The mug is beautiful and I’ve used it every day since receiving it. Can’t wait to buy another. Thanks Ros!

5 out of 5 starsAfter reaching out about a mug I saw that was sold out, Ros took the time to make another one for me! She worked me into her schedule and got me exactly what I wanted. Not to mention my mug is beautiful, high quality, and functional. What a wonderful shopping experience!
About RosOBrienCeramics
Handmade ceramics inspired by nature
Hello, I’m a potter and ceramicist in Harrisonburg, VA, and I’m glad you found me!
My pottery is inspired by a lot of things, often plants and flowers I find in my yard or around town. I like to play with texture and glazes that flow and move in organic ways. For me, pottery is a way to give up a bit of control in my life, and I see it as a collaboration between myself and the unseen, and often unpredictable, forces of nature that take place in the kiln.
I work with mid-range stoneware, and a combination of commercial and homemade food-safe glazes. I like to work slowly, mostly handbuilding with slabs and coils.
Thank you for supporting me, and I hope you enjoy my work!

I recommend handwashing and microwaving for short periods of time (e.g. 30 seconds) to prolong the life of these pieces.
Note that some specific pieces are not microwave- or dishwasher-safe, and that will be noted in their descriptions. This applies to pieces with gold plating or wire decoration, and I generally only use these with decorative items that aren't meant to hold food or drink.

If you select the "gift wrap" option at check out, I will wrap your gift in kraft tissue, and tie it with white and gold string.
