Product Insights & Style Tips

The Uncommon Goods Old Friends Mug by MudWorks Pottery is a little love letter in ceramic form—earthy, intimate, and deeply sentimental without leaning saccharine. Each mug carries the unmistakable warmth of something handmade: tactile stoneware clay with a softly glazed finish, hand-painted in moody washes of blue and green that feel like dusk on a front porch. The cherry blossom branch, delicate and purposeful, offers a nice nod to relationships that have weathered their seasons. The phrase, “It takes a long time to grow an old friend,” grounds it all, adding just the right amount of poetic nostalgia.

Generously sized with a 14-ounce capacity and a gently curved handle, this mug sits satisfyingly in the hand—heavy enough to feel significant, never clunky. The rounded silhouette makes room for every kind of ritual, from slow mornings to long catch-ups over refills, while the lead-free glaze keeps it both microwave and dishwasher safe, zero fuss. No two mugs are exactly the same, thanks to the handmade process, so every Old Friends Mug effortlessly claims a place on the countertop or breakfast nook with its own quiet individuality.

Uncommon Goods stands out for pieces that tell a story, and this collaboration with MudWorks Pottery is no exception—there’s a lived-in, deliberate charm that wouldn’t look out of place in a Brooklyn studio or an eclectic California kitchen. In the world of giftable ceramics, it’s rare to find something that feels this authentically personal, making it equal parts practical object and sentimental keepsake.

10 Chic Poolside Outfits Worth Packing This Summer

As the weather heats up, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a refreshing dip in the pool. The only thing that comes close? Showing up in an impeccably styled poolside outfit. Summer is meant to be fun, and few things are more enjoyable than building an entire outfit around your bikini of the day. Whether you’re jetting off to a resort or simply heading down to your apartment’s pool deck, a chic cover-up ensemble can completely transform the experience.

If you’re in need of warm-weather inspiration, allow us to introduce 10 poolside outfits guaranteed to earn compliments wherever the summer takes you.
