These mugs are hand made in the United States exclusively for Stowe Mercantile. Each piece of Stoneware is made using an old-world process that gives each its unique, handcrafted appearance and quality. Unlike other potteries, these mugs are made one at a time, hand thrown on the potter’s wheel rather than using slip cast molds. Master potters throw each piece of Stoneware using the finest clays and glazes. These mugs are available in our store on Main Street in Stowe, Vermont or on our website www.stowemercantile.com. Take a look, they come in many sizes and colors.
