More Than Just a Mug
There are mugs, and then there are double wall mugs. At first glance, their clear glass design looks modern and elegant, but it’s the hidden craftsmanship that makes them stand out. Two layers of glass are carefully blown and sealed together, creating a thermal cushion of air. That simple detail transforms the way you enjoy drinks every day.
Hot drinks stay warmer, cold drinks stay cooler, and the outside of the mug remains comfortable to hold. No more scalding fingers or water rings left on tables. Instead, you get a lightweight, stylish piece that looks as good as it feels.
Our Double Wall Glass Mugs are part of this tradition ,designed not only to be practical but to bring beauty into daily rituals.
How Double Wall Mugs Are Made
The design might look simple, but double wall mugs take skill to produce. Each mug is crafted from heat-resistant borosilicate glass, known for being both lightweight and strong. The process usually involves:
-
Blowing the inner wall — forming the cavity that will hold your drink.
-
Blowing the outer wall — creating the external shape, giving the mug its elegant silhouette.
-
Sealing the two walls together — trapping air between them, which acts as insulation.
This craftsmanship is what gives the mugs their unique qualities. It’s not mass-produced ceramic — it’s a considered, carefully made piece of glassware that blends strength with beauty.
What Makes Them Special
So, why choose double wall mugs over traditional mugs?
-
Insulation that works: Drinks stay the right temperature for longer.
-
Comfort in the hand: No more burning fingers or chilled hands from cold drinks.
-
No condensation: Perfect for summer iced coffees and fruit teas.
-
Showcasing drinks: The clear design makes every layer visible, from a rich crema to delicate tea leaves.
-
Light but durable: Borosilicate glass is stronger than it looks, designed for daily use.
They’re also versatile. Beyond coffee or tea, these mugs can serve desserts, layered yoghurts, or even act as creative holders for tealights when styling a table.

Styled for Every Season
One of the joys of double wall mugs is how seamlessly they fit into seasonal rituals.
-
Autumn & Winter
Think steaming hot chocolates topped with cream, or spiced chai lattes enjoyed with blankets and candlelight. Place your mug on a Raised Wooden Tray alongside one of our Candles, and it instantly feels like a cosy ritual. -
Spring & Summer
Switch to iced coffees, colourful fruit teas, or cooling lemon water. With no condensation, your mugs stay neat on wooden tables. Add fresh flowers in a White Ceramic Vase for a refreshing tablescape that feels seasonal and styled.

Caring for Your Double Wall Mugs
While double wall mugs are durable, they do need a little extra care. At Pretty Little Home, we recommend hand washing only, especially for mugs with detailed decor artwork, to keep them looking their best.
-
Use warm water and a soft cloth with mild soap.
-
Avoid abrasive sponges or metal utensils that can scratch the glass.
-
Don’t expose the mugs to sudden temperature shocks (like pouring boiling water into a chilled mug).
Handled thoughtfully, they’ll stay crystal clear and ready to use daily. For a full guide, take a look at our Double Wall Mugs Care and Maintenance Blog.
