Hidden Bays Collection

Handmade by Gillian, a Galway native living and making in Belfast, NI.

A limited-edition collection of ceramic pieces inspired by the stunning nooks and crannies of the western edge of the Irish coastline. Gillian’s absolute favourite place to be. These places are not often marked with a ‘beach’ symbol on the map, nor are they the picture-perfect pristine beaches of far-off warmer locations. They are small, they are hidden, they are rugged. But the beauty and the colours in these places can’t be rivalled. Enjoy a sense of being there each morning through these handcrafted pottery pieces inspired by Galway’s coastline.

Wheel thrown, hand finished and hand painted.

These pieces are made using made durable high fire stoneware clay and are made to withstand daily use.

Pieces are dishwasher safe.

All Gillybean mugs are designed with the following in mind:

Light to hold, feel great in the hand

A huggable generous shape

Smooth hand pulled handles (large enough for the important 4 finger grip)

Turned foot, a little design flourish.

Stamped with the Gillybean logo

An 'I want to pick you up right now' glaze finish

Functional and durable! High fire stoneware, strong chip resistant glazes.

A rounded smooth lip, no undesirable lumps or bumps!

April 2024 Hidden Bays Mug redesign

Mugs now feature a smooth rounded base as not the angled carved foot ring as previously. This new design I feel suits the mug better. The mugs are other wise the same basic size and shape.
