About

This is the stoneware mug you’ll reach for every morning and maybe again for a midnight ice cream treat. Made with durability in mind, our Signature Stoneware Coffee Mug is a family favorite. Designed with a comfortable handle and a slightly tapered base, they’re easy to stack when it’s time to tidy up. Holding 16oz, it’s the perfect size for that extra-large morning pour. Each piece is lead-safe and made with non-toxic materials.

What Makes This Mug Special:

  • Easy to stack for shelf space
  • Dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe
  • Hand-painted by experts since 1977

Copper Clay

Our gorgeous Copper Clay pottery collection features a glossy burnt sienna glaze. This earthy glaze is reminiscent of the red clay soil found in Central Virginia.

Details & Care

Material: High-fire stoneware clay with lead-safe glaze

Made in: Bedford, Virginia

Care

Dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe up to 450°F. Avoid sudden temperature changes.

Hand-painted designs hold their color for decades with normal use. For deep tea or coffee stains, a paste of baking soda and water will lift them without scratching the glaze.

Shipping & Returns

Ships in 3–5 business days from Bedford, VA via UPS or USPS. Free shipping on orders $150 or more.

Returns accepted within 30 days of delivery. Items must be unused and in original packaging.

    They drip when you drink

    • Emerson Creek Marketing –

      We appreciate your feedback, Nancy! We offer a variety of mugs in different shapes to suit everyone’s tastes. There may be a different one that you like better. We hope you will check them out! If you like your mug but find the drip to be an issue, we recommend using a saucer with it.

    I have been buying Emerson Creek Pottery items for as long as I can remember. These cups are the perfect size for coffee, hot chocolate, soup …. I love them.

    I bought one of these for my friend who tried to pack one of mine in her suitcase after she visited. I got her hint. She will love it.
