At Deneen Pottery, we take pride in every mug that leaves our studio, and it’s even more special when we collaborate with fantastic businesses. We were thrilled when Ingebretsen’s Nordic Marketplace approached us to create a custom mug to celebrate their 50th anniversary. And now, we are honored to have been featured in their latest blog post, which highlights the story behind this commemorative piece.
The team at Ingebretsen’s came by to visit our facilities and saw the craftsmanship and dedication that goes into each handmade piece. Having them here was an incredible experience for our team – from showing them how we carefully handcraft every mug to walking them through our whole facilities. Their enthusiasm and appreciation for the artistry of our work truly touched us. 
Ingebretsen’s has been a community staple for decades, providing Scandinavian goods to generations of families. For Deneen Pottery, the opportunity to collaborate with a business that shares a passion for quality and tradition was a perfect match. The limited-edition mug we designed for their 50th anniversary features the Ingebretsen’s throwback cross stitch logo on a midway mug with a powder blue glaze.
It was a genuine pleasure to have them write about their experience working with us and to be featured on their blog. We are incredibly proud of the partnership and the beautiful result of our collaboration. This special mug represents not just Ingebretsen’s milestone but also the deep-rooted connection between two local businesses dedicated to creating something meaningful.
Thank you, Ingebretsen’s, for trusting us with such an important project, and for sharing our story with your audience. We look forward to continuing our partnership and creating more lasting memories together.
