A mug is the object you hold most often in a day. We spent a winter testing clays and glazes before we settled on ours.
Weight first
A good mug feels a little heavier than it looks. Stoneware fired at 1,240 °C is dense enough to keep coffee warm for a few minutes longer, and thick enough at the rim that it never feels sharp.
A glaze that ages well
We chose a sand glaze over white. Small marks from spoons and years of washing blend in instead of standing out, and every batch comes out of the kiln a shade different.
Made close to home
Our mugs are thrown and fired by a family workshop two hours from Berlin. Short distances mean fewer breakages in transport and a potter we can call when a batch looks off.
