So my wife makes these cups as a hobby. I really love them and told her she could easily sell them if she wanted. She always says I am biased, but I honestly feel the quality and “mouthfeel” when drinking from them is so much nicer than things I have bought before.
Would you guys think these would sell ? Honest feedback and answers appreciated (if guys hate them, I wont tell her haha ;))
Btw: They all have little imperfections and asymmetry due to being hand made.

Love the second one. Not a great fan of very thick cups and/or handles therefore most of the others are still pretty, but I wouldn’t buy. The second one though… 😍
I have a few hand made cups without handles and they’re too hot to hold. A straight shot seems to be okay but an Americano is too hot.
Really like the second cup though.
Ngl at first I thought you bought them. Love the second cup, would definitely buy it.
They’re absolutely gorgeous. I love them all.
Hand made is a benefit in my opinion. Adds so much character 🙂
Tell her it’s wonderful work.
First cup is the winner for me. I’d buy it.
I would buy them. Hook me up with the etsy link if she is willing to sell them
2 and 3 are phenomenal. And the rest are pretty dang cool too! Haha
3 + 5 totally my type
Honestly I maybe would choose them if they were sold in some store! Great work which should definitely find a lot of buyers
I like most of them and can appreciate all of them.
I love it when there is some indication that a piece of pottery has been made made by a human hand – it adds to the experience of the warm and tasty coffee.
I also love the apparent thickness of the first espresso cup and the texture as well. I want to pick it up.
Your wife has a good eye.
Nice cups and mugs. I envy you.
How do I order them?
No 2 looks really good!
First, third and last are great. I don’t like the others so much. But this is just personal taste.
Objectively they seem to be good product and would easily find a home if sold. Pottery is a solid craft and the need for new products always exists.
If she keeps it as a hobby and sells them as a side thing, there should be no harm in it. For her own pleasure I would not think of this as a business, just small returns on something she anyways spends time and money into. This way it will stay a joyful thing and not something to stress about.
I LOVE the idea of handmade espresso cups. I have purchased some here and there for my collection over the years and they are ALWAYS way too big to be actual espresso cups. As traditional as the first one is, that’s my jam, so I’d be very interested in that with a more exciting glaze option. Best/only actual espresso cups (relative to size) that are handmade I e ever found were sold at a specialty coffee shop on Isla Holbox in Mexico. I bought two and LOVE them. The glazes are blue-green and remind me of how the water looked from the beach at different times of day.
I’d buy the second cup in a heartbeat, all of them look good. A good cup is equally important as coffee quality imo.
Gorgeous cups!
I love them, I would add a small plate to all of them like the third picture tho. Also a small spoon would be nice.
Can she sell some now? Would you be open to share her ig, fb or some sort of social media to buy some?
How long does it take your wife to make one of these?
I absolutely love them! The thing I’d be concerned about is shipping cost, I’m in Canada and whenever I find something incredible on Etsy, the shipping price ends up prohibitively expensive 🙁
Wow! Will she ship them to India?
I’d happily buy 1 and 3. Lovely pieces!
I would absolutely buy 2 and 3
They all look great, with #3 being my favorite.
If your wife doesn’t believe you or anyone else replying here, tell her to donate a few of her crafts to a local café which would use them to serve coffee to customers. That way she could get real world feedback and even get in touch with potential buyers.
Second cup is beautiful.
First second and third, this being my fave. Love them very nice
They’re honestly amazing. Great job
I like the last brown one. Will it come with a saucer?
love the collection!
I would buy one! Especially the black and white one.. I’ve been looking for one similar lol
