The small pocket molded onto the side is the reason to pick this mug up: it holds the tea bag while you drink, or a spoon so it never ends up on the counter. The stoneware body is footed and generous at 12 ounces, finished in a reactive glaze where a pale drip runs down from the rim over brown, blue or green.

Styling
Reactive glazes never come out of the kiln the same way twice, so a mixed set of the three colors looks collected rather than matched. Line them up on an open shelf or a mug rack near the kettle, or set one on a small tray on a side table next to a reading chair.
They make an easy host or teacher gift with a box of loose tea. For a fuller table, mix them with plain white plates and linen napkins and let the glaze carry the color. Browse more decor and gifts.
The mug is a comfortable weight for both hands on a cold Portland morning, and the wide mouth suits a big pour of coffee with room for milk. Buy one in each color for a household that always argues over whose mug is whose.
Care
- Wash by hand in warm, soapy water and dry right away with a soft towel.
- Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaners, which can dull the glaze or finish.
- Handle with care: each piece is individually finished, so small variations in color and glaze are part of its character.
