A handmade ceramic mug with a unique blue dripping pattern. This handmade ceramic mug is crafted in our workshops in Eindhoven & Nantes. Each mug is unique.
Each pattern is different due to the codes we use and the coloured porcelain we mix for dripping. The blue intensity and pattern height vary between pieces. Choose between full, open, or a combination of both patterns.
You can also find our mug ceramic set of 2 on our webshop.
This handmade ceramic mug features a unique blue dripping pattern, crafted in our workshops in Eindhoven (Netherlands) and Nantes (France). Every mug is made individually using our MOCA dripping machine, so no two mugs are ever identical. Whether you are treating yourself or looking for a unique gift for a coffee or tea lover, this handmade ceramic mug is a thoughtful and lasting choice.
At 220ml, this mug is the ideal size for a large coffee, cappuccino, latte, or tea. It is also stackable, saving space in any kitchen.
We offer two pattern options for this handmade ceramic mug:
Each mug is handmade individually, so slight variations in colour and shape are part of the process – and part of the charm. You can also order our mug set of 2 if you want a matching pair.
First, we programme a specific dripping rhythm into our MOCA machine. Then, we drip blue-tinted porcelain inside a plaster mould. Next, we pour liquid white porcelain over the pattern. The plaster absorbs the water over 4 to 6 minutes, forming a solid porcelain wall. After that, we remove the excess porcelain and let the mug dry overnight. The next day, we trim the edges and stamp ‘Moca’ on the base. Finally, we bisque-fire at 1020 °C, glaze the interior with a food-safe transparent coating, and fire a second time at 1240 °C.
This process was born from our graduation research at the Design Academy Eindhoven, where we built our first MOCA dripping machine. Today, we continue this work in both our Eindhoven and Nantes workshops.
We carefully wrap each mug in tissue paper and place it inside a sturdy gift-ready box. In addition, all orders are insured against transport damage – if anything arrives broken, we send replacements immediately. Free shipping applies on all European orders over 90 euros. In accordance with EU consumer rights, we accept returns within 14 days of delivery.

What is the capacity of the ceramic mug?
Each mug holds 220ml, the ideal size for coffee, cappuccino, latte, and tea.
Is the ceramic mug dishwasher safe?
Yes, the mug is dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing with hot water and soap to preserve the glaze. The blue pattern does not wear off as it is made of porcelain and embedded in the body of the piece.
Where is the ceramic mug made?
Every mug is handmade in our ceramic workshops in Eindhoven (Netherlands) or Nantes (France) by us, Studio Joachim-Morineau, using our homemade “dripping machine”.
What is the difference between a full and an open pattern?
The full pattern has a dense, layered dripping from base to about half of the cup. The open pattern has a lighter, single-pass stripe from the top downward. Both are unique: no two mugs are ever identical.
How long does shipping to Europe take?
We ship within 3 business days. Delivery typically takes 2 to 5 additional business days, depending on your location in Europe. Free shipping on orders over 90 euros.
