Custom Stoneware

From a lump of clay to your finished mug.

Each custom mug begins its journey as freshly mixed pottery clay. It's formed and shaped on the potter's wheel, a handle attached while still wet, and adorned with an engraved clay medallion featuring your logo or artwork.

The mug then moves to glazing — your choice from a library of hand-mixed stoneware glazes, each made in-house. Last, it's gas-fired to over 2,000°F, yielding a unique, durable mug that beautifully displays your brand.

Dishwasher and microwave safe. Lead-free, food-safe glazes. 12oz capacity. Slight piece-to-piece variation is part of the character.

Why JJ Potts

Mugs of the highest quality, made the long way.

  • Handcrafted

    Every mug starts as a lump of clay in our Utah studio. Each hand process leaves its mark — slight variation and character only handmade pieces have.

  • Artisan Glaze Colors

    37 stoneware glazes hand-mixed in-house, with pigments sourced from as far as Spain. We can also color-match almost any shade.

  • Short Lead Time

    Meticulous attention to detail, but we move fast. Most production runs ship in roughly two weeks after design approval.

  • Durable

    Fired above 2,000°F. Dishwasher and microwave safe. Lead-free glazes, food-safe — built for daily use, not display.

  • Low Minimum

    Just 24 mugs to start — half the minimum of most custom-mug producers. Reorder in any quantity once your design is on file.

  • Endlessly Customizable

    Custom medallion shapes — ski goggles, mountains, shields, anything you envision. Our designers translate your idea into stamping-die-ready art.
