Merrick | Handcrafted Copper Mug

“I had it beside my laptop during a slow morning with herbal tea, and the braided handle stayed comfortable every time I reached for it.”

The Merrick mug is the mug our customers buy when they have quietly given up on ordinary drinkware. It brings texture, warmth and handcrafted character to the simplest daily sip.

Merrick is crafted from hammered copper with a traditional textured finish and a handwoven braided handle. The comfortable handle works equally well with water, herbal tea or a cold beverage, while the distinctive surface brings character to the kitchen or dining table. A matching copper coaster is included.

Why You Keep Coming Back to It

• A finish with character. The hammered copper surface gives every sip a warm, artisan-made feel, with subtle variations that make each piece distinctive.
• A handle made for a relaxed grip. The handwoven braid sits comfortably in the hand through slow morning teas and everyday hydration.
• A mug with an individual look. The artisan finish makes the Merrick an easy stand-out on an open shelf or considered table setting.
• A lightweight everyday favourite. Its durable copper construction moves easily between practical use and display.

Why the price is what it is

A$109.00 for a piece you will actually keep reaching for, when it normally sells for A$219.95, is frankly on the suspicious side. Most of our customers ask. So here is the honest comparison, written on the back of a notepad in our office.

We have been doing this for 22 years, and this sale is the only time of year we let go of these prices. Once a colour is gone for the season, it is gone until next year.

How it fits

The braided handle is designed for a comfortable grip, while the lightweight construction keeps the mug easy to hold during everyday use.

No questions, 30-day returns

If it does not earn a place in your closet, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. No restocking fee, no questions. We would rather it went to someone who will wear it.
