This hand-built Vegetable Mug is a favorite among coffee and tea lovers, making it a perfect gift for anyone who appreciates unique, artisanal pottery. Unlike mass-produced ceramic mugs, each of these mugs begins as a flat slab of clay, carefully folded into its distinctive shape. The result? A beautifully crafted mug that is as sturdy as it is stunning.
Fired to Cone 10 for superior durability—compared to most commercial ceramics fired at Cone 5—this mug is made to last. Each piece undergoes over 14 hands-on steps and takes 9 days to complete, ensuring that no two mugs are ever exactly alike.
The Process:
Every mug starts as a hand-built stoneware slab that is pressed with hand-drawn stamps, real dried wildflowers, and antique lace for a truly unique texture. To enhance the intricate details, stains are carefully rubbed into the impressions before being dipped in hand-mixed glazes. Finally, the mug is high-fired in a rural Wisconsin studio, making it both functional and artistic.
