Trees on Earth

Celebrate the spectacle of the changing seasons with these joyous, paint-flecked ceramic mugs. Each hand-thrown and painted piece comes complete with a special indentation for your thumb, known as the "comfy nudge." 50% of the energy that powers Eric Hendrick and Noelle Van Hendrick's Vermont studio comes from CVPS Cow Power, which means that the generators they use run on renewable methane from cow manure. Green both in the method that they're created and in their messaging, these charming mugs embrace the majesty of the trees and the brilliant colors they carry with each coming year while reminding us to Love the Trees. Handmade by Eric Hendrick and Noelle Van Hendrick in Vermont.

Noelle VanHendrick and Eric Hendrick are a husband and wife team who have been creating together since the year 2000. They met in pottery class at West Virginia University and were good friends for a good while. They courted candling wood kilns and playing chess. Now, from their home in southern Vermont, they make it all happen. They homeschool their three sons and create art for the world to enjoy. “It is poetic, I have raised my sons on buckets of love and cups of beautiful…”, says Noelle. “ I intend for it all only to get better and better….” There is an underlying mission to the work. A mission of cultivating world peace beginning at home, in the body, mind, and spirit. Eric and Noelle create and design goods that align with this mission.

Gave these to a dear friend as a gift-she cried as they were so beautiful. I loved them when I saw them so I know she would too. Unfortunately you cannot put coffee or other hot liquid in them as there is no handle and they get too hot. Cold liquids 'sweat' on the outside. Just providing an fyi!
We still love them!

From the photo, it appears these mugs say simply "Love." I ordered them or my brother's wedding, only to find that they actually read "Love the trees, please." Customer Service insists that this information is clear from the description, but I don't see it. If you're looking for a wedding/romantic gift, these aren't for you.

      The cups are perfect! Just keep in mind that they may not come as perfectly shaped as the picture conveys. Didn't matter much, and added to the charm if you like that kind of thing.

      Comments about Four Seasons Mugs - Set of 4:

      I bought these because we recently started drinking more coffee and don't have that many mugs. First off they are beautiful. Each one has a tree on it from each of the seasons, very cute. They don't have a handle, instead they have an indentation for your thumb, which is fine. The only small issue I have with them is that they aren't as big as I thought they were, they probably only hold about 8 oz, and when you put hot coffee into them they get hot. I guess that makes sense, but since they don't have a handle it makes it harder to hold the mug. Overall, I still love them and would keep them but would make sure the size isn't an issue when recommending them to a friend.

        Comments about Four Seasons Mugs - Set of 4:

        These mugs are lovely. A bit on the small side. Wish they were more functional. Probably great for lukewarm/cold beverages, but not great for a hot cup of coffee or tea. Makes the mugs too hot to hold.

        Service and delivery comments:

        The most annoying thing about this purchase was that I specifically contacted Uncommon Goods regarding the use of these mugs, since I had a sneaky suspicion that they might not handle hot beverages well, and didn't really receive the correct answer. I paid for the shipping to my home, but contacted Uncommon Goods regarding the return and they will be providing a shipping label for the return.

        Kudos to them for fixing their mistake.
