The perfect mug can make or break your favorite beverage.

When the idea to make the best mug we could met the perfect family-owned pottery company in Wisconsin, the Mountains Mug was born.

While it's a bit ridiculous to talk about a mug (versus using and experiencing it), we have a few reasons why this isn't just another mug to bury in the cupboard:

• Handcrafted by master potters at Sunset Hill Stoneware, a family-owned company which makes premium stoneware in Wisconsin, USA. What starts as a flat piece of clay is gently molded by an artisan on the spinning wheel.

• Just the right size, at a perfect 16 ounces.

• A wide angled handle for easy grabbing. No more fumbling with a mini-handle and tipping your mug over on the laptop or newspaper.

• An ergonomically proper design, with a wide mouth for easy drinking and a wide base for no spills, no worries.

• A hand-dipped Mountain Brown glaze made of the finest natural materials (clay and glaze minerals) found here in America.

• Food, oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe so you can use it for anything and everything.

• No concerns over what it's made of, and your health. It's 100% lead and cadmium free, non-toxic, FDA approved, and California Proposition 65 compliant.

• A buy once, use forever philosophy. Seriously, it will last for a lifetime.
