The Maker: Every single piece is thrown, trimmed, and glazed by a real person in Vermont.

A Study in Durable Craft: The Silo Standard Original gear for your daily rituals with a hand thrown coffee mug designed for the modern homestead. There is something grounding about a mug that has weight to it. It's a physical reminder to slow down and appreciate the materials that make up our daily lives.

"I curated the Silo Mug for the Mercantile because it represents the peak of 'Buy Less, Buy Better' utility," says Jordan. "As a designer, I’m drawn to the two-tone contrast of the smooth cream glaze against the raw, unglazed clay base and the hand thrown marks from the makers that make every mug unique. It’s a tactile experience that mass-produced ceramics can't compete with. In my Putnam studio, this is the mug I want during my morning rush and the long hours at the drawing board".

Handcrafted in Woodstock, Vermont Every Silo Mug is wheel-thrown by a master potter at Farmhouse Pottery. This isn't just a vessel; it’s a piece of American stoneware built to survive the rigors of intentional living.

Natural Integrity: Crafted from 100% American stoneware clay, free from synthetic additives or "chemical mimics".
Thermal Performance: The thick-walled construction provides superior heat retention, keeping your coffee or tea at the ideal temperature longer than standard ceramic.
Tactile Grip: The signature raw clay base provides a natural, secure texture that feels substantial and stable in the hand.
