Description
This cortado mug from Ahmee Ceramics trades a handle for two “wings” that nestle between your fingers, and it’s finished in an uneven turquoise matte glaze over cream clay. It’s small, cozy, and impossible to mix up with anyone else’s cup.
Details
Cortado mug with two finger “wings” instead of a handle
Uneven turquoise matte glaze on cream clay
Made by Ahmee Ceramics in Stonington, Connecticut
Handmade; the glaze varies from piece to piece
Product Overview
Slip the wings between your fingers and the mug settles right into your palm, warm and steady. It’s sized for a cortado, macchiato, or espresso, and it’s just as nice for a small pour of tea. The turquoise glaze pools and breaks unevenly over the cream clay, so each mug has its own watery, coastal character. Gift one with a bag of good coffee beans and you’re done shopping.
What Makes It Special
The color takes its name from the stone, and the stone takes its name from a trade route. “Turquoise” comes from the old French for “Turkish,” because the gem reached Europe by way of Turkey. This mug made a much shorter trip, from Stonington to our shelves.
