Product Information

Full details

The Petite Friture Donut Mug, designed by Pia Chevalier, is for individuals who appreciate artful everyday objects. Its key benefit is transforming a simple coffee or tea break into a moment of visual delight with its unique, oversized doughnut-inspired handle and artisanal glaze. A potential caveat is that due to the handmade nature, each piece is unique with slight variations in shape, thickness, and glaze finish, making it less uniform than mass-produced items. This collection combines functionality with sculptural aesthetics, featuring a distinctive voluminous handle and an organic look that highlights the raw material and original colors.
