Rhiannon Gill makes every piece by hand in her Bellambi studio on the south coast of NSW - forming, glazing and firing each one herself. The range covers mugs and cups for everyday use, bowls for serving, vases for the shelf, planters for the windowsill, and table lamps for the bedside. Everything is colourful, handmade, and one of a kind. Nothing is mass-produced. When a piece sells, it's gone. Free local pickup available from the studio.

Bought this one to give as a gift. The recipient was extremely happy with it. The quality and size is indeed for those that “mean business”.

Seconds Sale Handmade Ceramic Large Mug - Pink
These mugs bring some brightness to my mornings ! I’m very picky about my mugs and the size and weight and overall feel of these are great. Whilst seconds, I can’t see why they didn’t “make the cut”. Very happy with them.

Seconds Sale Handmade Large Ceramic Mug - Sherbet
I wasn't sure if these bowls would be too big for me but they're absolutely perfect for my ramen and soups. I have been getting a set of bowls and matching deep plates in each colour way because Rhiannon's glazes are just too pretty to only have a few

I love these deep dinner plates! I think they're the best dinner plates Rhiannon has made so far! I love the shape and feel of them, love the side wall so my did doesnt run away (I'm clumsy ok)

Super love this mug!! The colour combinations are so amazing!! It feels nice and sturdy in hand too. Been using it daily for hot chocolate (since I’m not a coffee person) and it’s already my go-to mug. Definitely love every bit of it.
