Art Mugs | Paintings on Mugs

We love these artist-designed Cornish Art Mugs and use them at the gallery for our tea or coffee. These mugs are made from high-quality dishwasher and microwave-safe ceramics, although we recommend washing by hand for the longevity of the painting reproduced on the mug. Our Cornish artists, John Dyer, Ted Dyer and Joanne Short, have designed this new collection of exclusive contemporary art mugs in Cornwall. New designs and paintings are regularly added, perfect for home, school, or office use. We have art mugs featuring paintings of Cornwall, France, Italy, Somerset, and London. Be sure to shop our collection to find the perfect art mug for you or as a gift for a friend, teacher, loved one or work colleague.

N.B. Please order carefully, as each art mug is created especially for you when you order, with the design and mug of your choice. Therefore, we cannot accept return requests as they are custom-made for you.
