SOLD OUT - Check back Saturday, April 5 when we unveil our newest Mug Club design.
Introducing our March 2025 Mug Club offering, the second piece in our celebrated Craftsman Mug Collection series. This wheel-thrown mug showcases a hand-sculpted California poppy motif in low relief, bringing a touch of springtime warmth with its vibrant orange bloom against the serene blue-green glaze.
This thoughtfully crafted piece continues the journey of our six-piece collection releasing in alternate months throughout 2025. While maintaining the refined form that unifies the series, each mug features unique traditional motifs inspired by craftsman design principles. When displayed alongside January's Ginkgo design, this poppy edition begins to reveal the harmonious visual story unfolding throughout the collection.
Remember to mark your calendar for the first Saturday of May, July, September, and November to complete your collection with future installments in this limited-edition series, while exploring our diverse range of other designs in between.
Mug Club offerings are limited editions of no more than 200 pieces. Order while supply lasts.
Handmade to order. No two pieces of the same design look exactly alike, that’s part of the magic of handmade ceramics. Because we lean away from technologies like molds, templates, and casts, each piece is wholly unique. Minor variations in size, decoration, color and finish are intrinsic to our pottery. Please expect and embrace the variation inherent in our process.

Who doesn’t have a favorite pottery mug? Ephraim’s new line of mugs and cups will be the ones you find yourself reaching for again and again. One of our three potters hand throws each pottery mug on the potter’s wheel. In addition, the potters individually pull and sculpt the handles on the mugs.
Lead-free ingredients are used to design and apply the glazes on our pottery mugs and cups in our studio. We use third-party testing to verify the ingredients are lead-free. In fact, three long years of testing yielded several complete failures. Fortunately, it also yielded a portion of promising results. From this humbling experience, we firmly concluded that these functional glazes had to be, not only pleasant but extraordinarily beautiful. Indeed, beautiful enough to eventually hold their own beside the masters of mid-century ceramics that we deeply admire. In the end, we are so happy we were able to achieve the rich, vibrant glazes, fresh color combinations, and interesting surface texture.
Our pottery mugs and cups can be made in a variety of sizes. Our standard offerings include a child-size or espresso mug, a typical size coffee mug, a larger jumbo mug, and a cup. Are you looking for something unique? Our galleries stock a large selection of one-of-a-kind mugs in a wider variety of shapes and colors. Simply contact either gallery and they can help match you with the perfect pottery mug.
