A set of 2 handmade ceramic mugs with unique blue dripping patterns. This handmade ceramic mug set 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 single ceramic mug on our webshop.
This handmade ceramic mug set contains two unique porcelain mugs, each with a different blue dripping pattern. We craft every piece in our workshops in Eindhoven (Netherlands) and Nantes (France) using our MOCA dripping machine. As a result, no two sets are ever identical. Whether you are looking for a unique gift for a coffee lover, a couple, or a housewarming, this handmade ceramic mug set is a thoughtful and lasting choice.
Each mug holds 220ml, the ideal size for a large coffee, cappuccino, latte, or tea. Both mugs are also stackable, saving space in any kitchen.
First, decide how you want to combine the two mugs in your set. We offer three options:
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 single ceramic mug if you only need one.
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 1020C, glaze the interior with a food-safe transparent coating, and fire a second time at 1240C.
The MOCA project started as our graduation project at the Design Academy Eindhoven and is part of the MOCA Tableware project by Studio Joachim-Morineau. Today we continue this work in both our Eindhoven and Nantes workshops.
We carefully wrap each mug individually in tissue paper and pack the set 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 included in the ceramic mug set?
The set contains 2 handmade porcelain mugs, each with a unique blue dripping pattern. Both mugs come packed in a gift-ready box. You can choose between full pattern, open pattern, or one of each.
Is the ceramic mug dishwasher safe?
Yes, the mugs are 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 are the mugs made?
Every mug is handmade in our ceramic workshops in Eindhoven (Netherlands) and Nantes (France) by Studio Joachim-Morineau, using our “dripping machine”.
What is the difference between full and open pattern?
The full pattern has a dense, layered dripping from base to rim. 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.
