Part 1: More Than Just a Cup
Some things in life seem simple—like a ceramic cup. But hold one in your hands, feel its weight, trace the curve of its rim, and you realize: it’s more than just clay. It’s a vessel of time, patience, and artistry.
At One Percent Clay, we believe every cup has a story—waiting to be filled, waiting to be told. Whether it’s your morning coffee companion or a delicate tea cup passed down through generations, these pieces hold more than liquid. They hold moments.
Part 2: The Emperor’s Whisper
A thousand years ago in China, an emperor sought the perfect tea cup—one so thin that light could pass through, yet strong enough to hold the essence of the finest leaves. After years of trials, a potter achieved it—pure porcelain, a whisper of a cup that changed history.
Our minimalist white cups echo this legacy. They may not sit in a royal court, but they bring the same quiet elegance to your everyday rituals.
Part 3: The Sailor’s Mug of Fortune
Picture a stormy sea, a wooden ship creaking under the weight of the waves. A sailor grips his ceramic mug, rough and sturdy, etched with tiny marks from his travels. It’s chipped from years of use, but he swears it carries luck—his only constant in a world of uncertainty.
Our handcrafted mugs embrace this rugged charm. Strong, dependable, made to weather the storms of your daily life—whether it’s a hectic morning or a late-night wind-down.
Part 4: The Artist’s Silent Muse
In a sunlit studio, a painter dips a brush into her coffee instead of water—an absentminded mistake. She laughs, sips the warm liquid from her favorite deep-blue mug, then swirls the paint onto the canvas. That mug, always nearby, fuels her art in small, unspoken ways.
Our collection of rich-hued mugs isn’t just about color—it’s about inspiration. A well-chosen cup can be as much a part of your creative process as the first stroke of a brush or the first word on a page.
Part 5: The Memory Keeper
Some cups are made, but others are inherited. A grandmother’s delicate floral teacup, carefully wrapped and passed down. A father’s oversized mug, still stained from years of strong black coffee. These aren’t just objects—they are memories, held in ceramic and time.
Our philosophy at One Percent Clay is to craft pieces that will become part of your story, not just for today but for years to come. With every sip, you create something meaningful—whether it’s a quiet morning alone or a shared moment with someone special.
Part 6: Find Your Own Story
A ceramic cup is never just a cup. It’s a beginning—a place where stories start, where hands meet warmth, where moments linger.
Browse our collection at One Percent Clay and find the piece that speaks to you. Maybe it’s a sleek, modern cup for quiet mornings or a rustic, earth-toned mug that feels like home. Whatever you choose, make it yours. Fill it, hold it, and let it become part of your own untold story.
