To the letter.
Something tells us this mug has your name written all over it. Each one gets its organic shape from a small studio in Catskill, New York, where ceramicist Kim Gilmour made it by hand. And you’re getting to make it your own: Take your pick from three gloss glazes, then choose the hand-painted monogram that suits you best. (Now there’ll be no mistaking which cup of joe is yours.)

Meet the Maker
FISHEYECeramics
Catskill, NY
Kim Gilmour grew up in rural New Hampshire, and the inspiration for her work comes from the beauty and imperfection of the natural world. After moving to Brooklyn and starting to work with pottery, she decided to open her own shop. Now based in Hudson Valley, New York, everything she creates is organic and abstract, but also completely functional. Each piece is either hand-built, thrown on an electric wheel, or a combination of both.

Pretty but too small of a mug
The quality and the color are very nice but the mug is quite smallish. For the price tag I’d prefer a standard bigger size.
