Green and black classic mug
Jun 4, 2024  |  By Eric C., Flushing, NY
I bought one about 10 years ago and the handle broke off in the dishwasher for some reason. So I bought a new one but it has some areas where the glaze didn't seal properly; I guess they were air bubbles that formed during the firing process. It's a beautiful mug but not the quality that I would expect for the amount of money it cost.

LOVE this mug. Wide handle, holds a good size cup of coffee and is beautiful.
We've been customers for 30 years. I have purchased place settings for both of my daughters among many other pieces for myself, friends and family. We've never been disappointed. That is, until the store was closed during Covid and never reopened. Please bring the store back.

I love my blue mug! I bought one at another time but it was a different color and I did not like the color as much. I am going to stick with the elements of blue.

love it. I bought one to check it out. I've used it for herbal tea, soup, & cereal/granola. I have not tried ice cream in it yet, maybe this summer
I ordered 2 more but they will have a different color this time. I like this color better.
My husband has the tankard. the is My mug.

This is the mug the family rushes to get in the morning. After our six month old violently (that's an understatement) threw our first one against the wall we quickly realized it was a necessity to replace. We are working on getting the full collection of the blue agate and we're pleased with every piece. If we can, we'll catch the imperfect sale as the quality of the product is just the same, and each piece more unique.

We continue to buy pieces over the years! We have numerous items. All of the have been of such high quality. We use them daily as coffee mugs, soup bowls, salad dishes as well as main plates. Thank you Bennington Potters for your continued excellence.

Great mug!

I am very pleased with the American Classic mug in Elements Blue, which is excellent for coffee, and the mug in Blue Agate , which is great for drinking any black tea as the glaze does not retain any stains from the tea after the mug is washed. Both mugs hold a good amount of coffee or tea to
drink.

I noticed quite a bit of difference in this classic mug compared to the others I have. It is quit a bit thinner. I prefer the heavier ones. I feel like the quality is better.

Every Day coffee mugs
Aug 30, 2023  |  By Terri R., Burlington, MA
My husband and I love our first mug of coffee every morning. We could never find an everyday mug that didnt require getting up down for refills. I have big coffee mugs for Christmas but not for everyday. I searched for several days and came back to your pottery company. Exactly what looking for. Big sturdy durable. Perfect

I have been purchasing Bennington Potters products for over 20 years. Whether it's for personal use or for gifts, the quality of the craftsmanship never disappoints. My recent purchase of coffee mugs reaffirms that opinion.

I love my great big beautiful mug!

I'd broken a favorite large morning coffee mug, and had been searching on Etsy for large, but lighter-weight mugs for my morning coffee, and bought two that arrived looking quite different than what the photos looked like. Frustrated, for sure. But then--gazing at my beautiful new-ish dinner plates and soup bowls in the cabinet, I thought, "Oh! Bennington Potters!" They have mugs, and I can depend on it looking like the picture and being sturdy and beautiful!" Done, and done. My beautiful mug graces my morning coffee, and then my water requirements all day long!

I ordered 3 Blue agate glazed mugs for myself and both my son and daughter. We had visited Bennington, Vermont and enjoyed so much that I wanted a small remembrance for each of us.
The mugs are beautiful! They are a study peice, but not clunky, or overly heavy or too large. We're all very happy with them!
Also the shipping was very quick and they arrived in plenty of time for Christmas!
Thank you so much!

The American Classic Mug: hefty, beautifully crafted, durable, and classic - my coffee can't start the day without it.

I ordered these mugs a long time ago and recently broke one. That's the reason I ordered this one. In the past I also got these for my son , who loves them and the fact that they are lead free! That is important to us.

This is REALLY big!

I purchased the Classic mug to replace a D handle mug that I broke & is no longer available. It is enormous! Perfect for a cup of coffee with flavored syrups & an ocean of frothed milk. Love it!

Trigger Mugs
May 15, 2022  |  By Mary, Burlington, VT
I have had my Bennington Potters blue agate set for years. I use my trigger mugs frequently and they are the best coffees cup I've ever used. They are so easy to hold and they look great. My only complaint is that your Burlington store is not open anymore. I used to love to shop there.

Only Mug I Use!
May 5, 2022  |  By Patricia M., Marshfield Hills, MA
I somehow managed to break the handle off my favorite mug and still continued to drink my tea from the damaged mug until this replacement arrived - it just wouldn't be tea in any other mug!

Fabulous

I purchased a few of these mugs for family and colleagues and everyone has loved them. They arrived at my home first - so I got to see them before I wrapped them - they are really beautiful. I'm sure I will buy them again and expect to get one for myself very soon too! I got them with the bamboo coaster / covers and it was a cute set. I love BP! Never disappointed.

The mug had not been completely glazed around the rim. After a quick phone call to ask about sending it back, we were told they were going to send us a new one. WOW. I love this company more everyday. U.S. product and they stand behind their workmanship. LOVE

I heard about bennington potters from Lead free Mama on Facebook. She recommended the mug being that it is lead free. I really like my mug and the color is beautiful. It is sturdy but not overly heavy.

The absolute BEST mug you can buy
Feb 4, 2020  |  By Bradley J D., Pawtucket, RI
I had originally purchased one of these mugs about 3 years ago as a Christmas present for my father-in-law. He was absolutely in love with it, and used it every day at the office. Unfortunately, one day I dropped it on the floor and only the handle snapped off. I felt so bad about making his favorite mug unusable. I purchased another one for him in January, and within 3 days of placing the order, the mug arrived. He was SO happy to have his mug back! It keeps his coffee warmer for longer than any other mugs he has ever had. Thank you so much to Bennington Pottery for making such a beautiful and quality product!

Been using Bennington Potteryware for 40+ years. New to me is the American Classic Mug 16oz in two colors: Blue Agate & Black on Green. Have used everyday since delivered. They are wonderful. Keeps coffee/ tea warm. Feels nice in the hands. Would buy again.

I love my blue agate mugs. They are heavy and beautiful. I only purchased 2 but will order more. I also have a teapot with cup and saucer. The detail and beauty of these pieces are unmatched. I use them daily and they are the best quality. Thank you for such fantastic pieces.

We like soups, stews, chili - and this mug is perfect. It holds a full serving. In addition, this marvelous mug is great for a generous serving of hot chocolate.

American Classic Mug
May 9, 2019  |  By Roberta B., Hancock, NH
I'm disappointed to say that I'm not thrilled with the two classic mugs I ordered. They feel clunky in the hand and are best suited for soups or ice cream. When used for a large cup of tea or coffee, they are heavy to hold and cool the liquid unless they are preheated. They are attractive and well made, but I just don't enjoy using them.
FROM THE POTTERS: Thank you for your comment and we are glad that we were able to connect with you and direct you to different mugs that may better suit your needs.

An excellent mug
Oct 27, 2016  |  By Tyler W, Georgetown, KY
My wife got me this mug in blue agate as a Christmas gift a few years ago, along with some American made coffee. It is beautiful, has held up well and makes a nice big cup of coffee! It may be because it's made in America, or because my wife got it for me, but this cup is special to me and I would swear coffee tastes better out of it than any other mug I own.
