Know before you buy
Yes. Each mug is wheel-thrown by artisans Eric Hendrick and Noelle VanHendrick and features a unique inscription, meaning no two pieces are exactly alike.
The mug holds 12 ounces when filled to the brim. It is well-suited for a standard coffee or tea serving, leaving enough room at the top to prevent spills.
Yes, the ceramic is dishwasher safe. We recommend placing it on the top rack to ensure the longevity of the finish and the integrity of the handmade ceramic.
The mug is designed with a comfortable handle that balances the tapered shape of the vessel, making it easy to grip even when the cup is full.
ZPOTS operates with a commitment to sustainability by powering their kilns using renewable energy sourced from local Vermont farms.
While the mug features a textured, artisan-crafted style, the ceramic glaze is smooth and durable, making it just as easy to clean as a standard smooth-surfaced mug.
