Outback Cups {SECONDS SALE}
SECONDS SALE
These cups are beautiful, fully functional seconds that have one or more of the following minor irregularities:
Warping (not suitable for silicone lid)
Minor glaze faults (e.g. pinholing, flecks or glaze marks)
Irregular glazing (e.g. thinner areas, uneven coverage, or slight colour variation)
Marks on the base
Other small irregularities in clay, glaze, or detail that set them apart from firsts
As with all handmade ceramics, no piece is ever truly perfect — but none of these faults affect the quality, durability, or food safety of the cup. All seconds are guaranteed food safe.
Please note: Samples & Seconds are non-refundable.
Handcrafted in our Noosa studio from premium speckled Australian stoneware clay, each cup is individually hand-brushed with our signature Outback pattern in soft dusty pink, rich burnt umber, and warm sienna tones — reminiscent of desert sunsets and the vast red earth.
Each piece is unique, with subtle glaze variations that celebrate the Australian landscape.
Durable, food-safe & dishwasher safe
Perfect for your daily coffee or tea — on the go or at home. A warm touch of the outback in every sip.

FAQ
Will the cup get too hot to hold?
Ceramic cups take on the warmth of the liquid inside.
As a guide, if coffee is made at the correct temperature (approx 65 degrees), you’ll be able to hold your cup quite comfortably. If a drink it too hot to hold, it's too hot to drink.
Silicone heat sleeves are available to purchase separately here.
Please note that warmer drinks like tea may still be too hot to hold even when using a heat sleeve. We recommend leaving a little space at the top of the cup to hold it.
Some of the external surfaces are unglazed. Will they stain?
All our ceramics are fired to the highest stoneware temperatures, making them highly vitrified and stain resistant. Coffee and tea stains should come off easily when washed.
Some substances may stain, mainly oily liquids, so best to avoid contact with those.
The dishwasher does the best job at keeping your cups nice and clean!
