"We're selling a lot more mugs now and [Darlene] thinks it's because we've set up the 4 mug display, along with mugs in the presentation boxes, right in our dining room," Eric Johnston from the Ash Street Inn wrote in an email to me today. If...
Rebecca Gallagher, the proprietor of Historic Smithton Inn, emailed me last night with a link to a story that took place at her property on Veterans Day. After I watched the piece it made me think of my grandfather even more since the last blog...
It has been a while since our last blog and so much has happened here at the pottery. Production is up and lead times are now at just over 10 weeks?!? Yes, it is hard to believe but ever since the holidays things just haven't...

Getting to work for a family business can be a challenge. The rewards of working for a family business, especially one that makes things, like Handmade Stoneware Mugs, are many. One such perk is being connected to the act of creating functional, durable, and safe mugs...
I've been waiting to find the next Innkeeper to interview and after hearing from Katherine Brown of Bloomsbury located in Camden, SC earlier this week I knew she would be perfect. In October of lat year we first talked about her property and our mugs and a few weeks later we combined a photograph of her property, and a drawing, by Randall Peterson, into this beautiful creation by Teena our Art Director.
At the start of the week I received a sorta tap-on-the-shoulder email that, more or less, hit me over the head and prompted me to see if Katherine would want to be the second official participant of our Innkeeper Q&A. "Good morning Niles - this is where you can share a 'great laugh' with everyone at Deneen Pottery! When we ordered mugs a few short months ago, it was primarily because I like them--I wanted to try them on our breakfast table. As it would never have occurred to me to buy a mug (with some logo) when I was traveling -- I rather dismissed when you said how well they sell. OK - I need to place an order. Quit laughing and tell me what you need." I don't mind being dismissed especially when I get to hear about it - That's why this statement is also on our testimonials page... It helps to look back at positive statements when you are having a rough day - And I figure if I keep stacking up the positive things that have been said, more will KNOW that we ARE the best at making Custom Stoneware Coffee Mugs!
