Rustic Handmade Matte Black Coffee/Tea Mug
This is the kind of mug that makes you slow down, even if you didn’t mean to.
What It Is
A small, handmade ceramic coffee and tea mug finished in matte black with an unglazed stoneware exterior and a dark interior glaze. Crafted in small batches, each mug is subtly different—shaped by hand, fired imperfectly on purpose, and designed to feel more like an object you chose than something you grabbed.
Why You’ll Actually Use It
Because it fits exactly how you want a mug to fit—cupped in your hands, steady, grounding. At 8 ounces, it’s ideal for espresso, strong coffee, or tea you plan to drink while standing at the counter, staring into the middle distance. It’s microwave- and dishwasher-safe, which means it survives real life, not just aesthetic intentions.

About the brand: Sobremesa
Sobremesa is what happens when someone decides that dinner should have a lingering emotional aftertaste, not just a full stomach; it’s a brand built around the stubborn belief that the table isn’t just a place to eat, it’s where people think, talk, and sometimes confess things about themselves they hadn’t planned on admitting. Their products—textiles, tableware, and tactile objects—are chosen less for trend and more for integrity, crafted in ways that respect the people who make them, the materials they use, and the world they inhabit. Sobremesa doesn’t pretend sustainability is easy, but it does insist on ethical supply chains, thoughtful materials, and social enterprise practices that value craft over convenience and community over convenience. In every piece is the quiet argument that good meals and good design shouldn’t come at anyone’s expense—after all, the best conversations happen when everyone at the table has been treated with care.
