4 out of 5 starsMy mugs are much much darker than those shown on the listing, but they are still nice looking. The size and weight of the mugs are fantastic. Longer than anticipated delivery time. I would post a photo but don't have the option to do so.

5 out of 5 starsThis is the second time I’m purchasing this mug. I broke the first one I had and was devastated. The replacement is even better than the original. Love these ceramics!

5 out of 5 starsI was impressed by the packaging. The post office damaged the box but not the plates. Beautiful plates.

4 out of 5 starsI would love to give this mug a 5 star rating but had to take one star for shipping and color. First, I want to start and say that this is a beautiful mug and I can’t wait to use it. However, my mug arrived almost two weeks past the estimated delivery date. I would be more understanding if I knew the mug was being made at the time but on the bottom is carved 2021 and was covered in dust; leading me to believe it has been sitting on a shelf waiting to ship out. On the color, the picture displays the mugs as purple with green and blue, but the mug I received is a brick red with no purple. I know it said colors may vary but I assumed that meant the colors may be lighter or darker or have more green than blue, not a complete different color. I would still purchase from JMP again but with different expectations in place.

5 out of 5 starsThese mugs are so sweet! They are a mini version of our favorite coffee mugs. Seller was responsive and we could not be more in love with these for our kids. We will definitely be ordering from this shop again for ourselves and for gifts.

4 out of 5 starsThe handle is higher then the main cup and the button at its top sits right at the opening but it’s a great cup and I like it

Our story
We started Joppa Mountain Pottery in 1995 as a family affair. McDonald, an accomplished student of fine art, has been creating pottery for more than 30 years. Ann has a 20-year background in ceramics and her son, Shane, is becoming an accomplished potter as well, specializing in hand-built pieces and the Raku process.
Joppa Mountain Pottery has a growing reputation with collectors and galleries all over the world. Our award-winning work has been featured several times on Home and Garden Television (HGTV), on PBS and in Country Marketplace Magazine to name just a few.
We are known for our Stoneware and Raku Pottery. Each piece is either wheel-thrown or hand-sculpted and then decorated, carved, painted, glazed and kiln fired using our own hands. All glazes are hand-mixed and are unique to Joppa Mountain Pottery. Our glazes are recipes we have created and refined and are made from different combinations of 'dirt' from all over the world. We use Chung reds, cobalt blues, earth-toned browns for stoneware glazes and nickel, copper and iron metals in our Raku glazes to name just a few of the ingredients. The beauty of our handmade pottery is that no two pieces are exactly the same, giving it the uniqueness, originality and overall superior quality our customers expect.

I'm very tall with an auburn beard! My long-fingered hands curve the damp clay spinning on a potters wheel into dishes, cups, bowls, vases, and pitchers - which I most like making.

Owner, Artist
I sculpt whimsical figures, including my popular sitting reindeer, and paint decorative designs on pieces. I mix the pottery's glazes, using up to 14 ingredients to get the right hue.
