The first type is what I call the Basic Tumbler Shape. This type usually is about 2-2.5 inches across at the bottom to easily fit most cup holders. It gradually tapers wider towards the top to fit a 3 in silicone travel lid securely. Although I consider this a basic shape, there is nothing basic about this tumbler. I usually will apply and interesting glaze finish and or texture detail. Here is an example of my basic shaped tumblers.
I used a beautiful combination of 3 glazes to get this explosion of crystal like “clouds”. There is nothing basic about making a basic shape. Special care is made to make sure the rim on top will fit the travel lid. Clay has different shrinkage rates and the measurement is very specific while shaping the tumbler on the wheel.
Handled Tumblers can be in the basic or hourglass shape. I added handles on the upper portion of the tumbler so that it will still fit into most beverage holders. Ceramics will get a bit hot when holding hot beverages. These handled tumblers were made for those who prefer not to use a silicone sleeve or cozy to keep their hands from getting too hot. Here are some examples of handled tumblers.
So there you have it… the main types of tumblers available on my site! I also have non ceramic accessories to use with these tumblers. Please check into my article to find out more about how to use these accessories! Thanks again for visiting my site.

Kokeshi, are Japanese dolls, originally from northern Japan. They are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face. The body has a floral design painted in red, black, and sometimes yellow, and covered with a layer of wax. One characteristic of kokeshi dolls is their lack of arms or legs. The bottom is marked with the signature of the artist.
My Kokeshi Tumblers are made from ceramic. Although the general shape seems simple, the process of shaping and hand decorating each Kokeshi tumbler takes hours and hours. I may use a combination of handpainting, stencils, application of underglaze decals, ombre air spray application of underglaze and glazes. Some designs will require up to 4 firings to get the desired result. Here are some examples of my Kokeshi Tumblers. This is my original design and each is truly one of a kind and a work of art from my heart!

Silicone travel lids. The three inch lid fits snugly inside the opening of the tumbler. To attach, simply push the lid into the tumbler. There is a ridge along the top of the lid that keeps the lid from completely collapsing into the tumbler. Some lids may have a tighter fit. You may need to push and pump on the top of the lid and then twist it so that the inner lower portion in completely and securely attached to the inside of the tumbler.
The first pic is the correct orientation in which you will place onto the tumbler, the second photo shows how the underside has ridges to trap the liquid, preventing spillage. You can also see that the top is wider than the bottom so that it fits into place on top of the tumbler. Push the lid in until it cannot go in any further without excessive force as shown in the third picture.
Heat Resistant Silicone Sleeves help protect your fingers from heat. It is important to place the sleeve on while the tumbler is empty (before filling with fluids). Simply, stretch the sleeve onto the tumbler at the desired height for comfort.
