THE GROVE COLLECTION — OLIVE WOOD MUG Handcrafted Olive Wood Mug with Sculptural Two-Finger Handle

Some cups you drink from. This one you hold onto.

The Grove Collection Olive Wood Mug is carved from a single solid piece of Aegean olive wood — cup and handle in one unbroken form. The handle is sculpted with two finger holes that make it instantly comfortable to hold, the warm wood insulating naturally against the heat of whatever is inside. Turkish coffee, chamomile tea, a morning black coffee. It makes every drink feel like a ritual.

The grain across each mug is entirely its own — sweeping amber tones, deep contrasting veins, natural knots that emerge differently on every piece. This is not a mug you will ever find in a high street shop. It is an object people will pick up, turn over in their hands, and ask where you got it.

Food safe and finished with a natural oil. Carved from pruned Aegean olive branches — no trees felled.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Hand wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately — never soak or place in the dishwasher. Do not use in the microwave. Once a month, treat with a little food-safe olive oil inside and out and leave overnight to nourish the wood. With regular care, your mug will deepen in colour and develop a beautiful patina over time.

OUR STORY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Olive trees along the Aegean coast have been pruned by hand for thousands of years. It is how the trees stay strong, how the fruit grows well, and how the groves pass from one generation to the next.

The wood from those pruned branches has always been too beautiful to waste. At Wild Olive Co., we work with craftspeople who take those offcuts — wood that would otherwise be burned or discarded — and shape them into pieces worthy of your home.

No trees are ever cut down. No forests are cleared. The Grove Collection is made from what the tree gives willingly, season after season.
