This line of stacking stoneware mugs are hybrids. Various hardware, from a ubiquitous glass knob to ornate Victorian handles, are cast in ceramic and mounted on a proprietary, flat-sided mug. The resulting collection is both functional and fresh. Each mug has a distinct personality but as a group they make an impressive display.
Some of the hardware has provenance, such as a handle and knob from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, or a door handle from a 1935 Ford, others are collected for their unique forms or functional properties.
Hardware Mugs come in two sizes, a small mug that is perfect for coffee or tea, and a tall mug that holds a can of pop, a beer or any tall drink.
At the moment we are offering the Hardware Mugs in two elemental glazes that were developed to accentuate all of the details. Jaleh Green (left) is a pale green, and Jaleh Blue (right) is a pale blue. These glazes go with everything, are made with a minimum of materials and pool in all of the crevices.
