Mugs & Cups

We believe in providing American-made stoneware that is not only beautiful but also holds its look. We hand-make each ceramic coffee mug to be comfortable and toxin-free, so it’s a pleasure to use every day. Our pieces are oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe, which makes them a practical addition to any home.

Features and Facts

We’re makers at heart and create products that are both beautiful and functional. With a great love for the outdoors, we incorporate nature into our designs and protect the Earth through sustainable practices.

We offer shipping to the United States and Canada, including free shipping on orders over $150 in the lower 48. Learn more on our shipping page.

We normally ship in-stock items within three days of receipt of the order.

If the item is out of stock we will email you with the estimated date it will be ready to ship. Please keep in mind we hand make and hand paint everything, and this can lead to a delay in shipping, especially with our personalized pottery items.

While we work to keep our stock full to anticipate new orders, there may be a product listed that is currently out of stock.

If this happens, you will be notified immediately and be provided with an anticipated ship date.
Located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Bedford County, Virginia, our Outlet Store offers shoppers 30–60% off retail prices. Customers also enjoy the store’s rural setting and historical structure, a 19th century cabin.

We’re makers at heart and create products that are both beautiful and functional. With a great love for the outdoors, we incorporate nature into our designs and protect the Earth through sustainable practices.
