I love pairing my mugs with a charcuterie board. It makes me feel like I am bringing a high coffee shop or restaurant experience to my home. I currently have a nice selection of both in my online shop.

These would make a perfect gift for yourself or a loved one for Valentine's Day.

"Well packed and arrived safely! I still have a mug of Lisa's from over a decade ago that is well loved, and this will be a great gift!" -Jenn

These 4 mugs are a part of the art exhibition "Hot Chocolate Mugs II" (photo credit goes to Charlie Cummings Gallery).

About the the exhibition:
Warm your hands and heart with these wonderful mugs crafted with hot chocolate in mind. While hot chocolate is a beloved drink enjoyed by many across the world, the hot chocolate mug form is a less well-defined form than the cups used for many other traditional drinks, such as teabowls, teacups, and the many specific cup forms used for different types of coffee or alcoholic drinks. Hot chocolate may be served in a no-nonsense, diner-style mug that's unlikely to spill, or it may be served in a wide open form, allowing the steam and deliciousness to rise to the nose. It might be cradled in the hands around the campfire, or it might be enjoyed at the dinner table or on the sofa on a chilly evening. Artists in this show have interpreted the hot chocolate mug according to their own favorite recipes, and many of them have shared those recipes, which you'll find on the product page for each mug in the show.

Excited for some of these new vases from my latest electric firing powered by solar electricity. These vases were handmade by Lisa York in Rocky Hill, CT a suburb of Hartford, CT.
