Humble, imperfect, calm.

This mug is handmade, orders will ship in approximately 4 weeks.

We gave 20 of our favorite ceramicists a mission: to create a mug that best represents their aesthetic. And boy, did they deliver! The result is something we’re very excited to present: A very-special, very-unique collection of limited-edition mugs—all exclusive to Food52 (like the design on this very page!).

This mug’s got enough angles and curves to go around! With dreamy earthtones that swoop in and over each other to create an asymmetrical pattern, it’s a standalone piece that’ll make any beverage you pour inside look oh-so-eye catching. The mug employs a tricky technique in which matte, velvety glaze imitates stone but is smooth and pleasant to hold (especially on a rainy day).

Meet the Maker

The Shelter Collection

Charleston, SC
The Shelter Collection is a partnership with STARworks, a nonprofit that works to revive local economies in rural areas through art and design. Each ceramic and glass piece is handmade in Star, North Carolina, where the local economy was decimated with the 2001 closing of a hosiery factory that employed a large portion of the city’s population. STARworks helped turn the factory into a destination for artisans, drawing craftspeople from all over the world, and in turn providing the community of Star the opportunity to start small businesses to support the influx. The Shelter Collection's stunning pieces are a testament to the power of art in rebuilding communities.
