Mugs

Crisp air, cozy sweaters… and the perfect mug to match. There’s nothing quite like sipping something warm on a cool fall day, and at Emerson Creek Pottery, we have a variety of handcrafted mugs to make those moments even more special. Whether you love a classic shape or something with a little more character, we’ve got styles to suit your sipping preferences. (Compare our mug styles here.)

A handmade mug makes a lovely autumn gift on its own—but why stop there? Take your fall gift-giving to the next level by pairing it with a bag of locally roasted coffee, a tin of spiced teas, or a jar of homemade hot cocoa mix (with marshmallows, of course).

Want to make it extra meaningful? Our Classic Mugs, Latte Mugs, Signature Mugs, and Teacups can be personalized with a name (up to ten characters). And for the littlest cocoa lovers, our Children’s Mugs can be personalized with a name and birthdate.
