Description

large mug, height 9cm, diameter 9cm, Apple Design The company's love affair with pottery began over 55 years ago when Nick Mosse, the son of a flour merchant, was captivated by the sensuous beauty of clay and its possibilities aged 7! Honing his craft for many years under the stewardship of talented potters in Harrow, England, Nick developed a genuine passion for clay, devoted to shaping pieces that felt beautiful. He met, married and fell in love with an American Botanical artist, who had been drawn to Ireland by her love of the Irish countryside and the beauty of the Burren, Co. Clare. Drawn together by their craft and their shared love of nature, in 1976, Nick and Susan, based in a small shed on the Mosse family land in Bennettsbridge, Co. Kilkenny, formed their family business Nicholas Mosse Pottery. Three decades on, their business and their passions have endured. Patterns are applied using an age old tradition dating back to the 18th century. Usin
