Wrapping chilled fingers around the diffused warmth of a ceramic mug is one of those simple wintertime moments with a special place in my heart. A love of tea, and perpetually cold hands, will do that to a Northeasterner.
To take that cozy contentment to the next level, we collected a few of our favorite mugs crafted by Buffalo artists or for local beloved establishments.

Our favorite perk to membership? The one-of-a-kind, massive porcelain mug crafted by local artist Jody Selin. Her multi-layered, custom design for Undergrounds features the deceased person of your choice, a nod to the coffee shop’s origins as a funeral home. Jody made this one, just for us, featuring Buffalonian Louise Blanchard Bethune, the pioneering architect behind Hotel Lafayette.
