Deneen Pottery is a family owned and operated production pottery company that specializes in making hand-thrown stoneware coffee mugs for museums, historical societies, and non-profit organizations throughout the country.
We are best known for our Signature Coffee mugs, but have over 55 different items all made by hand. Working from photos, or camera ready art, we create designs that are cut into clay with our “Glaze-Engraved™” process. Pictured below are 3 of our 10 styles of mugs – We have over 180 different glaze combinations!
Each mug is hand-thrown on a potter’s wheel by a master potter at our studio in St. Paul, MN. While each piece is almost identical, no two are exactly the same – And that is just one aspect that makes our stoneware so collectable.

A couple of years ago we were in Washington D.C. and purchased one of your mount Vernon round belly mugs. We have several from vacations throughout the country, and always enjoy using them and remembering. Unfortuneately I dropped the Mount Vernon one and broke it. I am looking for a replacement. I do not know if I can get one from the gift shop in Mt. Vernon, or if I can get one directly from you. I would appreciate any help you can give me to replace this mug. Thank you in advance for your help.
Hi Vince,
We can help you find a replacement mug for sure – Give us a call or send me an email: niles@deneenpottery.com
Talk to you soon!
