Working with clay is our life. Deneen Pottery Company is a second generation family business established in 1972 by Peter and Mary Deneen in Saint Paul, MN. While our early days were in a two-car garage, today we occupy over 17,000 sq/ft and employ over 50 skilled craftspeople. Our goal has remained unchanged: create functional, beautiful, hand-thrown stoneware for our clients. This journey has been remarkable and we truly feel fortunate to collaborate with businesses – both small and large, from coast to coast – through manufacturing handmade pottery mugs in the USA.

Footed Mug

The first Footed mug came off the line in 1996 and has remained a customer favoriteof Deneen Pottery ever since. In fact, the Footed mug is thier second most popular handmade pottery mug style. Like the Round Belly, it has a nice sturdy bottom with a tapered top. These features allow your beverages of choice to retain their heat, while also making it a very satisfying mug to hold.
