Description
Designed for the smaller moments that bring people together — a shared espresso, a quiet matcha, or a mid-morning flat white — these Rue mugs are made to elevate everyday rituals.
Their soft off-white glaze is hand-dipped in vibrant tones, adding a splash of personality while keeping things grounded and natural. The gently curved shape and comfortable handle make it a joy to hold, while the embossed Kindred logo at the base is a subtle nod to its handcrafted roots.

Our Makers
Our supplier is a generational business, founded over 30 years ago by a young couple who originally worked at the Fine Arts Museum in Vietnam.
In 1995 they decided to take a chance and establish their own business. It was their love of their profession and their passion to pursue their dream of celebrating the long-standing tradition of making pottery that helped them develop their business. Latterly joined by their son, the business continues to flourish. It is a pleasure to work alongside them and watch our designs come to life, valuing their guidance and knowledge of ancient Vietnamese cultural elements and combining them with a modern twist.
