ABOUT US

Hello and welcome to Tranquilo Ceramics!

Let me introduce myself, I’m Paige, the face behind all of these adorable mugs.

Tranquilo Ceramics is my small business baby that I started up in Summer 2023, here in Dubai. I’ve always loved anything to do with crafts and making things with my hands. So, when I used to work in a nursery, I always found myself loving clay time more than the kids did. This gave me the idea to join pottery classes to learn a thing or two about the process. After doing one pottery class, I decided to learn about pottery myself by watching videos, joining pottery groups and of course lots of Google searches. I learnt the tricks of the trade and started making personalised mugs for myself and friends, and before I knew it people actually wanted to buy them.

My small business slowly started to grow and more and more people wanted their own personalised mug. I’m forever grateful to my amazing customers who share and support my business, without you I could never have turned my passion project into a small business.

Our mugs are handmade by myself with love. The aesthetic of our mugs embraces the beauty of imperfection. The deliberate asymmetry and visible finger impressions create unique character, where no two mugs are the same. They are customisable with text and design, and made to order.

At Tranquilo Ceramics, we believe in the power of simple moments. For me, there's nothing quite like sitting down with a cup of coffee or tea - a deliberate pause in the day to just be, to find calm amidst the chaos. It's a ritual I cherish and look forward to every day.

The inspiration behind our name comes from a beautiful insight I stumbled upon while reading a book. In Portuguese, "Tranquilo" isn't just a word; it's a comforting phrase, an assurance that everything is okay. It embodies peace, serenity, and reassurance. That idea resonated deeply with me and became the driving force behind Tranquilo Ceramics.

Our mugs aren't just vessels for holding beverages; they're anchors for people's peaceful moments, reminders to pause, breathe, and savour the tranquility of the present moment. The inspiration behind our business name adds depth and meaning to our craft, making it more than just ceramics—it's a source of comfort, reassurance, and serenity for our customers.

Keep sharing your Tranquilo moments, it helps my small business more than ever.

Thank you with all my heart for being here, I’m grateful beyond words!

All my love, Paige
