Short intro
More than a mug — a drinkable globe. TerraMug is where Earth science meets ceramic art. From the rolling Pacific to the Amazon basin: global geography turned into daily inspiration, wrapped around a perfectly smooth ceramic curve.
Designer’s insight
“I didn’t want to just paint the world — I wanted people to feel it: continents, oceans, the pulse of tectonics in a warm drink.”
— TOM, Ceramic Designer & Geographer by passion

Art in orbit
- Spherical map layout: equal-area cylindrical projection wrapped around the body for a convincing, readable world view.
- Underglaze ocean effects: rich cobalt-blue waves across the Pacific and Atlantic.
- Matte land contrast: rainforest regions in deep green gradients; subtly textured terrain that catches the light.
Topography & craft
- High-fired porcelain (~1280 °C): saturated colour with a refined finish.
- Kaolin-rich clay body: stable forming, precise firing.
- Ergonomic handle: considered wall thickness and curvature for comfort, thermal feel and reduced weight.
Science at a glance
- Engraved latitude/longitude grid: fine lines every 15° to spark curiosity.
- 3D mountain relief: from the Himalaya to the Andes, contours you can feel.
- Heat-activated ocean currents: thermochromic ink reveals currents with hot drinks.
