As good as gold.

This year, we teamed up with 52 of our favorite ceramicists—yep, 52—to bring you an extra-special collection: a whole medley of artisan-crafted mugs, each one as unique as its maker. They’re only in for a limited time (and, you guessed it, you’ll only find ‘em here).

Artist Fran Aldea makes things that invite us to slow down—and we have a feeling her mug here will help you do just that. It’s hand-built from white porcelain, then painted with spots of colored clay. (Fun fact: It’s inspired by a technique called impasto, used by Van Gogh himself.) Oh, and see the warm brushstrokes on the handle and side? That’s 22-carat gold.

  • Made in: Bronx, NY

  • Shipping & Returns: Free Standard Shipping on Orders $199+ and Easy-Breezy Returns

If you were to guess that From Fran’s gorgeous pieces come from an artist named Fran, you’d be right. Everything is handmade by one-woman show Fran Aldea, who hails from Santiago, Chile, but now works out of a studio in Brooklyn.
