ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
These handcrafted ceramic mugs draw inspiration from Palo Santo, the sacred wood known for bringing calm and clarity to any space. Each mug is thrown by hand on the potter's wheel using clay imported from Spain, creating a warm gray-brown base that speaks to the earth's natural beauty.
Available in two thoughtful glazes, salt and moss, these mugs celebrate the artisan's touch. The salt glaze reveals spiraling wheel marks and gentle undulations, while the moss finish offers a richer, smoother surface. Each piece holds twelve ounces of your favorite beverage and carries the unique variations that only come from human hands.
More than just drinkware, these mugs invite you to slow down and savor the ritual of drinking. Whether holding your morning coffee or evening tea, they transform simple moments into mindful practices.

Near Cleveland, Ohio, ceramicist Gina DeSantis makes earthenware pieces for the home. Gina DeSantis Ceramics, founded over 13 years ago, describes itself as a handcrafted ceramic dinnerware and home décor studio, and its work is now stocked by over 300 national retailers, including Nordstrom, Anthropologie and Uncommon Goods.
Every piece is designed and produced in-house with a small, dedicated team. The studio says each item is shaped, glazed and kiln-fired by hand, then finished with lead-free, cutlery-safe glazes, and every piece is dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe.
The studio says its pieces aren't made to sit in a cabinet. They are made for morning coffee, weeknight dinners and Sunday tables full of people, and built to last a lifetime of real meals.

Q: What makes these mugs different from regular ceramic mugs?
A: These mugs are individually hand-thrown on a potter's wheel using Spanish imported clay, creating unique variations and visible artisan marks that machine-made mugs cannot replicate.
Q: What is the difference between salt and moss glazes?
A: Salt is a cool off-white glaze that highlights the wheel marks and natural undulations of the clay, while moss is a thicker, richer glaze that creates a smoother surface with less visible texture.
Q: Will my mug look exactly like the photo?
A: No, and that's the beauty of handcrafted pottery. Each mug varies slightly in shape, size, and glaze application, making your piece truly one-of-a-kind.
Q: What does Palo Santo have to do with these mugs?
A: Palo Santo, meaning "holy wood," is traditionally used to purify spaces and bring calm. These mugs are inspired by that same intention of bringing peaceful energy to your daily rituals.
Q: Are these mugs microwave and dishwasher safe?
A: While ceramic is generally microwave safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the handcrafted glazes and extend the life of your artisan pottery.
Q: How do I choose between the cappuccino and mug styles?
A: The cappuccino style is 3 inches tall by 4 inches wide, while the mug style is 3.25 inches both tall and wide. Both hold 12 ounces, so choose based on your preferred drinking vessel shape.
