Hand-thrown by our friends at Elements Clay Studio in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, this appealingly primitive cup is destined to supplant all other drinking vessels on your home bar or in your kitchen.
Why? Well, at Pappy & Company, we love it for its unique organic shape, complete with a thumb indentation for added comfort, but mostly, the weight of the Kentucky stoneware just feels exceptionally good in your hands when you're sipping your favorite bourbon or maybe even for your morning cup of coffee. This thumbprint cup is versatile in its daily applications.
Either wheel thrown or hand-shaped, each piece of pottery—every plate, bowl, cup, mug, or other containers—that comes out of Elements Clay Studio in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, is handcrafted by ceramist Susan Burge, using Kentucky sourced stoneware clay, which results in a weightier nonporous vessel that’s every bit as functional as it is beautiful. “I hope my pottery, in some small way, creates joy when it is held or used in everyday life,” says Burge, whose organically-shaped stoneware is lovingly crafted with patience as well as time-honed skill. Once formed, each thoughtful piece is trimmed and allowed to air dry before its first firing. After which, it’s removed from the kiln and cooled. The vessel is then dipped in a unique glaze and fired for the second and final time. When cared for properly, Elements Clay Studio Pottery, including our new Handmade Kentucky Stoneware Collection, which includes a mug, coffee pour-over, thumbprint cup, and vessel, will last for generations to come, becoming treasured family heirlooms.

I’m giving this as a gift, but it really looks easy to handle and carry
Absolutely beautiful,now,if I could have a bottle of Pappy Bourbon😊
Love it! Wonderful for cold drinks! Cheers !
I bought these mugs (4) for my son as a Father’s Day gift. He LOVED them! He’s been looking for something like these but they turned out to be better than expected. Please thank the artisan that produced these beautiful mugs!! Also, thank YOU, Pappy’s for making them available to US!!
The Thumb Prit ceramic mug is pretty awesome first it actually keeps the drink cooler, next overtime the cup will take on the flavor profiles of each different drink poured so imagine your sipping cup infused with each different scotch or bourbon...Prety awesome...
