Chuma Cup Pair & Coffee
From: £54.95
A pair of handmade cups by Cape Town ceramicist Chuma Maweni, with a 250g bag of Cupper’s Journey coffee of your choice. Choose two black, two cream, or one of each. Every cup is thrown by hand, so no two are alike. Each holds around 140–150ml.
Chuma Maweni was born in Gqeberha in 1976 and began working with clay as a child, shaping cattle from riverbank mud in the Eastern Cape. He trained in ceramic design, spent years teaching ceramics in rural communities, and opened his own Cape Town studio in 2016. His work is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and his first solo exhibition opened at Southern Guild, Cape Town, in 2024.
These cups are thrown on his wheel in Cape Town. The black cups have a satin, ridged exterior and a turquoise-green glazed interior; the cream cups carry an amber interior. Because each is made by hand, shape, size and glaze vary from cup to cup. That variation is the point, not a defect.
Christmas: order by 12 December for guaranteed Christmas delivery. Orders after that ship by 21 December but can’t be guaranteed. Our shop is closed 22 December to 4 January.
Arrives safely: each cup is individually wrapped and double-boxed. If one arrives damaged, email photos to hello@cuppersjourney.com within 48 hours and we’ll replace it.
