The handmade ceramic mugs created by potters and artists are decorating our desks while we WFH.

Haand

The brand's namesake, derived from the archaic Norwegian word for hand, speaks to the elegant simplicity of the brand's designs and ethos. Based out of Burlington, North Carolina, Haand has focused their studio space around environmentally friendly production. Not only does their proprietary dip-glazing application process produce zero waste, but about 20% of each finished piece contains reused scraps from past production. In past years, their kilns' carbon footprint was equivalent to the average US household. Their ceramics are made to be super durable and would make an excellent coffee vessel for even the clumsiest person.

Mud Witch

This previously sold-out mug is made by Japanese-Mexican artist Viviana Matsuda, who draws inspiration for her designs from the body positivity movement. Based in San Francisco, Mud Witch's curvy geometric designs echo many of the internet's favorite wavy decor trends. Turning to ceramics as a form of self-care, Matsuda took up wheel throwing after the passing of her father (a ceramicist himself). Finding the creative outlet therapeutic, she turned her pottery into a successful business in its own right and we can't help but think they would look super cute on our kitchen table.

Artisan Artifacts

Owner and founder or of Artisan Artifacts, Ariana Richie, makes contemporary ceramics using traditional pottery techniques and glazes. Working with unique textures, Richie uses a modern approach to classic ceramics through her barely-there handle that's as functional as it is dainty. Fitting comfortably in any hand, the mug's speckled and textured exterior and earthy-toned base makes for a perfectly balanced design. Combining her love of nature and a desire to create objects for everyday use, the Colorado-based ceramicist used natural clay and bodies and muted colors to develop her signature pared-down style.
Joy of Decorating

This multidisciplinary shop features homemade ceramics, glass vases, and candlestick holders. Standing out for its chubby handles and bulbous designs, the brand's sturdy construction is palpable even from the imagery, which displays the mugs in a serene breakfast nook. The brand notes in its description that due to the drying process, each glaze may vary, meaning no two pieces are the same. Plus, they're made from non-toxic materials and are made to be dishwasher and microwave safe so no need to worry if your coffee gets cold before you've finished your cup.
