Handmade Medium Mug (Mountain Meadow)

These are great mugs! I was looking for something quirky and original, that would fit with our style and color scheme, and that was available in 6 different variations. These fit the bill perfectly. Not only are they beautiful to look at, they are well-made, hand-made, dishwasher and microwave safe and fit comfortably in your hand. They are on the pricey side at around $20 average per mug, but I'd say they're well worth it. They are larger than the average coffee mug, so I could not fit 6 across on my mug holder as I've done with our past mug sets. But, I like how they look in the picture I've included as well and am happy with the size and shape even though it's a little larger than what we are accustomed to. I'm hopeful they continue to wash up well and last well into the future. I feel sure they will as the quality seems top notch. I'd definitely recommend these mugs to anyone who likes this rustic style and enjoys a hug in a mug. :)

I love this mug. I bought it to replace a similar mug that I bought from an artisan at a street fair many years ago. I was hoping it would be true glazed stoneware and I am not disappointed! It is absolutely beautiful, and even has a maker’s mark on the bottom.

My husband broke my favorite coffee cup and I purchased several other less expensive ones that did not make me happy. This one is perfect! I love the turquoise color. It easily holds 16 oz of coffee. The curved lip makes it easy to drink in the handle is perfect size. The base is stable. The only slight issue is, I'm using a Aeropress coffee maker and the upper rim is almost too large for the base of the coffee maker but it still works just fine and doesn't fall in. I'm happy.

The colors are very beautiful. The handmade work is signed on the bottom & the craftsmanship is truly excellent. Very well made!

Got the large first cause I went by number of ounces it hold and it was huge, no one uses it. Ordered the medium and it’s very close to all the standard size mugs we have so it gets used frequently. These are nice colors. Handle nice and comfortable size

The mug has vibrant colors and is beautiful. Fits comfortably in my hand. However, it is really light weight and hot drinks don't stay hot long. I'm afraid it will also chip easily. I use it everyday even if just for water or juice because I love it.

June 30, 2021 Update: It's been nearly 2 years since my review of this mug (Aug 2019), and it has held up perfectly. I am still very careful with it because it is handmade. I've changed my 4 stars to 5.Original review: This mug, Mystic Waters, arrived intact and it is as beautiful as the photos. The aqua color at the top edge is the color of the entire inside of the mug. It is well made, although the bottom isn't perfectly flat so there is a small rocking motion (hence 4 stars instead of 5). I bought this one and Ocean Tide at the same time; Ocean Tide does not rock. The color at the top edge of Ocean tide is the color of the entire inside of the mug (a chocolate brown). The handles feel good in my hand (three fingers fit easily without being crushed together). I ran my fingers over both of them and there were no chips or burrs that I could find, nor could I see any cracks in the glaze. The mug walls are not as thick or as sturdy feeling as I had expected, so at this point, I am not aware as to how they will hold up with use, or how fragile they actually are. So far I have used them for coffee and have microwaved water in them for tea. They are both signed by the artist on the bottom.

These mugs are the best. They are somewhat heavy but not overly so. They feel substantial and are a good size for our morning coffee. You can reheat in the microwave without the handle getting hot (except for the brown mugs which must be made of a different material). I bought two then bought 4 more so we can have some in the dishwasher and still have clean cups since these are the only ones we like to use.
