Sustainability

In a world where ceramics are often mass-produced and imported, we started SIPP with a simple goal: to bring the focus back to sustainable and ethical production, right here in the Potteries. It’s our mission to revive the rich heritage of pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, using locally sourced materials and eco-friendly methods that honour both the craft and the environment. Our clay is dug from UK soil, and every mug is made close to home, reducing our carbon footprint. Even our fine bone china comes from ethically sourced bone, with every bit of waste recycled back into the process. At SIPP, we’re all about blending the old with the new. Our mugs offer a customisable twist on heritage designs, bringing together traditional craftsmanship with a touch of modern style. Whether you lean towards the classic or have a more contemporary taste, we’ve got something that will feel just right in your hands. We believe in quality over quantity, which is why each mug passes through 26 skilled pairs of hands before it’s ready to find its place in your home. It’s not just about making mugs—it’s about making a piece of history, something you’ll love, while staying true to the principles of sustainability and craftsmanship that we hold dear.
