I found this glass flower knob when I was cleaning out my mother’s house. I am not sure where they came from, probably a NYC antiques store. Although I love the look, its large and not the most comfortable in the hand. A knob on a mug? I know its not traditional, but I thought it might be fun, and it works quite well. If you want a knob but worry about it functionally I might suggest staying away from the larger, rounder knobs like this and getting a #2, #4, or #5. These are oblong and work very well in the hand.

Hardware Mugs, our 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. The handle collection is ever growing but as of writing consists of 19 models.
