There’s something deeply grounding about drinking from a vessel that’s been shaped by hand. Each piece carries its own quiet story, the movement of clay, the glaze that catches light, the weight that feels just right in your palm. At Adele Macer Ceramics, every tumbler and mug is part of that story.
This collection of handmade pottery tumblers celebrates the small moments that fill our days, a morning coffee, a matcha break, or a cool smoothie after time in the garden. Made in Melbourne and crafted with care, these pieces remind us that beauty and function can live side by side.
The Marshmallow Mug
The Marshmallow Mug has become a studio favourite. Each one is wheel thrown pottery, built for comfort and warmth. The smooth rim and soft curves make it ideal for both tea and coffee, while the speckled glaze gives it that gentle handmade charm.
Available in tones like white, pink, grey, and warm speckle, it’s easy to see why it’s loved across handmade mugs Australia collectors. Whether you choose the espresso size or the generous 3-stack mug, it fits neatly in the hand and adds a little calm to every sip.
The Classic Ceramic Tumbler
The Ceramic Tumbler is one of the most versatile pieces in the collection. Light, tactile, and easy to hold, it works beautifully for coffee, juice, or even wine. Each tumbler is handmade in Melbourne, formed with wheel thrown pottery techniques and finished in a variety of glazes that complement any kitchen and are perfect for your morning latte as they fit nicely under the coffee machine.
Unlike mass-produced cups, no two are ever quite the same, that’s part of their quiet charm. Small variations in glaze and form make each piece unique, connecting you to the hands that shaped it.
The Tumbler Set of Two
Perfect for sharing, the Tumbler Set of Two brings a sense of balance to your daily rituals. These tumblers are crafted from the same australian handmade ceramics clay body as the Marshmallow Mug, ensuring durability and long life.
They look beautiful on a breakfast table or beside the kettle ready for your favourite drink. These are the kinds of pieces that quietly elevate your home, simple, useful, and made to last. While they feel great in your hands they are also dishwasher safe so you know they will be in hot rotation in your home.
The Matcha & Smoothie Cup
For those who love morning greens or a slow afternoon matcha, the Matcha and Smoothie Cup is both practical and joyful to use. It’s slightly taller than the classic tumbler, with a rounded shape that fits comfortably in the hand.
Each piece is handmade pottery, finished in natural, calming tones that reflect the organic quality of the clay beneath. Whether you’re whisking matcha or blending fruit, it brings a sense of calm and craft to the moment.
Why Choose Handmade Pottery Tumblers
Handmade pieces carry a presence that factory-made ware simply can’t. You can feel the maker’s rhythm in each curve and imperfection. These handmade ceramics Australia pieces are designed for daily use, dishwasher safe, microwave safe, and built to last.
Choosing handmade is also a sustainable choice. Locally made ceramics use fewer resources than imported factory ware, and every piece from Adele Macer Ceramics is created in small batches to reduce waste. When you choose ceramic kitchenware that’s been shaped by hand, you’re choosing connection over convenience, and longevity over trend.

Each piece will slowly gather its own patina of use, a soft record of mornings and moments shared.
