The product all
three heroes sell.

01 — The mug

Material

Double-walled stoneware

A reactive clay body with a trapped air gap: coffee stays hot for up to six hours, the outside stays cool enough to cradle.

Glaze

Hand-dipped, kiln-fired

Each mug is dipped once in our teal glaze and fired to 1,240°C. The drip line lands differently every time — no two are identical.

For life

Re-glaze, forever

Chipped or dull after years of use? Mail it back with the prepaid label and we re-fire the glaze. One mug, kept good for a decade.

Three heroes,
one honest test.

02 — Method

Variant A

Minimal typographic

Strip the page to a headline and one thumbnail. Wins when the words are strong and the audience already knows the category.

Variant B

Image-heavy

Let the product photo fill the fold with copy overlaid. Wins for craft objects where seeing it is most of the sell.

Variant C

Split layout

Balance copy and a framed lifestyle shot. The safe, scannable default — usually the control you measure the others against.

What early
firings say.

03 — Voices

“I bought it for the photo on variant B. I kept it because it’s still hot at 11am.”

Mara V. · ceramicist, pre-order #214

“One mug, no decision fatigue. The re-glaze promise is why I’ll never replace it.”

Tomas R. · architect, pre-order #877

Questions,
answered plainly.

04 — FAQ
Is it really just one product?

Yes. One mug, one size, one glaze. The whole brand is the discipline of making a single object well — which is exactly why the hero is worth A/B testing instead of a catalogue.

Does double-walled mean it stays hot?

The trapped air gap slows heat loss: filled with boiling coffee it reads above 60°C for around six hours, and the outer wall never gets too hot to hold.

What is the lifetime re-glaze?

Register the mug at checkout and mail it back any time with the prepaid label. We re-dip and re-fire the glaze and return it within two weeks, on us, for as long as you own it.

Shipping and returns?

Free carbon-neutral shipping in a reusable firing crate. Try it for 30 days — if it is not the only mug you reach for, send it back for a full refund.
