About Us

At Cylvara, we believe that the most meaningful moments of the day happen during the quiet pauses—the morning coffee that starts your routine, or the evening tea that helps you unwind. We are dedicated to making these moments beautiful with our curated collection of modern ceramic drinkware.

Our Story Cylvara was founded by Tekle Jillo Dulo in Altoona, Iowa, with a passion for functional art. We noticed that while modern life is fast-paced, the objects we hold in our hands every day should encourage us to slow down.

We moved away from mass-produced, generic cups to focus on Stoneware & Ceramics that possess character. Whether it is the tactile feel of a matte glaze, the unique imperfections of a kiln-fired finish, or the ergonomic comfort of a chubby handle, every Cylvara mug is chosen to bring a touch of joy to your daily hydration.

Our Philosophy: Modern Minimalist Pottery

  • Design-Led: We curate pieces that feature architectural lines, trendy textures (like our ribbed origami series), and soothing color palettes.
  • Quality First: Our mugs are made from high-grade ceramic and stoneware, designed to be durable, heat-retentive, and safe for daily use.
  • The Ritual: We believe a good cup is not just a vessel; it is an essential part of your daily ritual.

Connecting with New Zealand Although our roots are in the United States, we share a deep appreciation for the New Zealand lifestyle, which values authenticity, nature, and quality living. We are proud to serve our Kiwi customers, bridging the distance with reliable shipping and dedicated support.

  • Important Note: Please be aware that all prices on our store are listed and processed in USD (United States Dollars).

Our Promise We are committed to transparency and excellence. Every item is carefully inspected and packed with shock-proof materials before it leaves our facility. If you have any questions about our ceramics, shipping times to New Zealand, or order status, our team is ready to assist you.

Thank you for choosing Cylvara.

Sincerely,

Tekle Jillo Dulo Founder, Cylvara Shop
