Famiware Jupiter Coffee Mugs Set of 6

The heft of one of these mugs is the first thing a photograph cannot deliver. Stoneware is heavier than it looks, and the mug sits solidly in the hand. 13 ounces is a standard coffee mug size, and the mug fits under a brew basket without crowding. The mug warms slowly in the hand and holds heat longer than thinner cups. No two mugs in the six are exactly alike. The glaze shifts during firing.

Six mugs stack two high without wobbling, but the stoneware weight makes a taller pile awkward. They are microwave and dishwasher safe, so the morning routine does not slow down. Four glazes are on offer, each one a different expression of the same shape. They work for coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. The set does not ask to be admired. It simply starts the day.
