10oz Tapered Mug
This is one of my favorite styles of mug, but a surprisingly hard shape to inject any “soul” into. Everyone has (or had) dozens of mugs with a similar form as these laying around from an Ikea shopping spree, and there’s a reason- they work really well! The tapered form keeps liquids warm longer because it has less surface area exposed to the air, they fit well in cup holders, and they have great leverage between the large handle and the body. We worked really hard to make sure that OUR tapered mug feels like a Haand piece, with a slightly wonky, wavery rim and a handle that feels very strong but is surprisingly thin and undulating.
I had an epiphany about this mug a few weeks ago- I was mowing my lawn and drinking my coffee out of a Tapered Mug, and when I finished, without even thinking about it, I tossed the mug onto a part of the yard I had just mowed. I realized I have probably done this dozens of times, and it has always survived. I’m not suggesting anyone test this themselves, but this bad boy can certainly take some knocks and keep right on going- a testament to the strength of our material and the skill of our craftspeople. -Mark

Care & Durability
Are your products durable?
Our work is used daily in over 200 restaurants around the world. Fast paced restaurants put our plates through rigors that they’ll never experience in your home. You can use our plates just like you’re accustomed to and when taken care of and stored properly, our wares will last a lifetime (or a few!).
Do your plates show cutlery marks? How do I clean cutlery marks off the plates?
Any glaze can show cutlery marking over time. Some types of flatware mark more than others, and some of our glazes will show these marks more than others- Matte White, Buttermilk Pink, Celadon, Coquina, and Terra. Any marking is only temporary and do not worry, it is not harming the glaze. To remove these marks, we recommend scrubbing with a gentle abrasive cleaner such as Bar Keeper’s Friend or Pink Stuff.
Is your dinnerware dishwasher & microwave safe?
Yes, our plates are designed for the rigors of restaurant kitchens and will be safe in your dishwasher & microwave. For cleaning we recommend using detergents that are gentle and environmentally friendly.
