Cornwall Mugs: Art You Can Use
Looking for beautiful Cornwall mugs that bring a touch of Cornish art into your home? Our exclusive collection features elegant white mugs printed with the artwork of John Dyer, Joanne Short and Ted Dyer – three of Cornwall’s most celebrated artists. Each design captures the colour, light and joy of Cornwall’s coast and countryside, transforming a simple mug into a piece of art you can enjoy every day.
The Allure of Cornwall Mugs
Our Cornwall mugs are inspired by the same coastlines, harbours and gardens that have inspired artists for generations. Printed with fine reproductions of original paintings, they bring the atmosphere of St Ives, Falmouth and beyond into your kitchen. Whether you’re starting your morning with coffee or relaxing with afternoon tea, these mugs add a cheerful reminder of Cornwall’s artistic energy to each sip.
Designed in Cornwall and produced on demand in professional print facilities around the world, these mugs are made from high-quality ceramic with a clean white finish. They’re durable, dishwasher-safe (but we suggest hand-washing for longevity), microwave-safe, and beautifully practical—the perfect blend of function and design. Although not hand-thrown pottery, each mug carries authentic Cornish art, created by artists who live and paint here.
Cornwall’s Ceramic Heritage
Cornwall has a long and fascinating history with ceramics. From the pioneering Leach Pottery established in St Ives in 1920 to today’s thriving studios across the county, Cornish pottery has always reflected creativity and craftsmanship. While our mugs are not handmade in Cornwall, they are part of the same design story – contemporary pieces that celebrate the spirit of Cornish creativity in a modern, accessible way.
Artists Behind the Designs
The artwork featured on our mugs comes from three of Cornwall’s most loved painters, each with a distinct and recognisable style.
John Dyer’s paintings celebrate the life, wildlife and energy of Cornwall. His joyful depictions of harbours, beaches and festivals are instantly recognisable and bring a sense of optimism to each mug. As the official Artist in Residence for the Eden Project and Artist for the Earth with EarthDay.org, his art has reached audiences worldwide.
Joanne Short is known for her bold use of colour and elegant, stylised compositions that capture the beauty of Cornwall’s gardens and coastal views. Her designs work beautifully on ceramics, offering a burst of Cornish sunshine with every cup of tea.
Ted Dyer, Cornwall’s most widely collected artist, brings a timeless impressionist quality to the collection. His ability to capture light and atmosphere makes his images especially evocative when printed on these mugs – perfect for collectors who appreciate a more classical touch.

Cornwall mugs make thoughtful gifts for anyone who loves art, Cornwall, or enjoys beautiful everyday objects. They are ideal for birthdays, anniversaries or housewarmings, and their timeless designs make them easy to cherish and display.
