A pair of cups for two people starting a home. Used every morning, long after the reception.
The short answer. Give the couple something they will use together. A pair of handmade stoneware mugs, one each, does that every morning for years. Pairs at AWIS run from ₱1,300 to ₱1,800, and come boxed and tied for ₱150.
A wedding fills a home with things for show. A good cup is the opposite: it is the first thing reached for, before anyone is fully awake, and it stays in the kitchen long after the decorations are put away.
Two of the same form, chosen in two glazes or one. One light and one dark, Sand with Charcoal, is a pair many couples ask for: it tells the two cups apart without a word.

For when the couple starts hosting. A set of five cups in five glazes, or pieces from The Table for the middle of it.
Every piece is thrown, glazed and fired by hand in Northern Mindanao, so no two are identical. The glaze breaks differently over each rim. The pair matches in form and differs in the details, which is a fair description of a marriage.
They are high fired stoneware: dishwasher and microwave safe, made for daily use rather than a shelf.
A group gift goes further in pottery. A set of five cups, a place setting, or a serving piece from The Table makes a single, considered gift from many people. Write to us with the number of pieces and your budget.

Every piece is wrapped in kraft paper and sent in a kraft paper bag, at no charge. For a gift, ask for our gift box: boxed and tied with a ribbon, ready to give, ₱150 a box. One box holds one mug or cup, or a pair for one person. Two people, two boxes.
We ship anywhere in the Philippines, from ₱300 in Luzon, Metro Manila included, and from ₱400 to Visayas and Mindanao, or you can collect for free in Pasig. Pieces are prepared within three to five business days after payment. If a piece we ship arrives broken, we replace it or refund it. For Christmas, reserve early.
To order, message @awis.ph on Instagram or write to hello@awis.ph with the pieces and glazes. You can also add pieces to a reservation and send it when you are ready.

Something the two of them will use together. A pair of handmade stoneware mugs is one of the simplest: one each, every morning, for years. At AWIS a pair runs from ₱1,300 (Juan) to ₱1,800 (Floresca), and can come boxed for ₱150. See the pairs.
Cash in an envelope is common, and many couples also keep a registry. A physical gift still has a place beside the envelope: it is the thing they keep and use after the day.
Replace something ordinary with something made by hand. Most homes already have mugs; few have a matched handmade pair, or a set of five Juan in five glazes for when friends come over.
Yes. Pool for a set of cups, a place setting or a serving piece from The Table. Write to hello@awis.ph with the number of pieces and your budget, and we reply with what is on hand.
No. We do not engrave or print on the pieces. Each one is thrown and glazed by hand, so the pair is already its own.

Yes. They are high fired stoneware. The one thing to avoid is a sudden change in temperature, such as boiling water into a cold cup.
