There is something grounding about a cup that feels substantial, no matter its size.

We chose the Silo Espresso Cup because it perfectly bridges the gap between art and utility. Hand-thrown in Woodstock, Vermont, this piece is crafted from durable American stoneware that holds heat exceptionally well—a critical feature for keeping your espresso shots from cooling too quickly.

It features Farmhouse Pottery's signature "two-tone" aesthetic: a creamy, smooth glaze on the rim for comfort, and the raw, unglazed clay at the base for a tactile, organic grip. At 3.5 ounces, it is the perfect vessel for a double shot, a macchiato, or a cortado.

Why We Love It:

  • The Heat Retention: Thick-walled stoneware keeps your shot hot longer than thin ceramic.
  • The Grip: The raw clay bottom provides a natural texture that feels secure in your hand.
  • The Maker: Every single piece is thrown, trimmed, and glazed by a real person in Vermont.

Specifications:

  • Material: American Stoneware Clay
  • Capacity: 3.5 oz (Perfect for a double shot or cortado)
  • Dimensions: 2.5" x 3"
  • Care: Oven, Microwave, and Dishwasher Safe
  • Origin: Hand-thrown in Woodstock, VT

Mercantile Note: This item is curated from an independent American partner and ships directly from their studio to you. To ensure fair compensation for our makers, this item is excluded from site-wide sales and promotions.

Built for Daily Life
Farmhouse Pottery is designed to be used, not just admired. These pieces are durable American stoneware, fired at high temperatures to ensure strength for the kitchen and table.

  • Dishwasher Safe: Yes, these are built for modern kitchens and daily wash cycles.
  • Oven & Microwave Safe: Ideal for baking, warming leftovers, or reheating. The stoneware distributes heat evenly for consistent results.
  • Thermal Shock: Like all authentic stoneware, avoid extreme temperature changes (e.g., do not take a piece directly from the freezer to a hot oven).
  • Stains: The high-density glaze resists staining, whether from hot coffee, red wine, or bright spices.

100% American Made
Every vessel begins as a lump of American-mined clay in the Woodstock, Vermont studio.

  1. Wheel Thrown: A master potter throws the shape by hand on a wheel—no molds are used.
  2. The "Two-Tone" Dip: Each piece is dipped in a creamy white glaze, leaving the bottom unglazed to reveal the raw, organic texture of the stoneware.
  3. Single Fired: The pottery is fired once at incredibly high heat, creating a bond that is stronger and more energy-efficient than traditional methods.

The Mark of the Maker
Because these pieces are thrown by real people—not molds—slight variations are part of the beauty. You may notice subtle differences in height, rim thickness, or the exact line where the glaze meets the clay. These are the fingerprints of the process, ensuring that your piece is truly one-of-a-kind.
