Deneen Pottery

Deneen Pottery is a family-owned stoneware company in St. Paul, Minnesota. Peter and Mary Deneen started the business in 1972, and their son, Niles, now runs day-to-day operations. A team of over 50 craftspeople hand-throws each mug on a potter's wheel, so no two pieces are exactly alike.

Businesses order custom logo mugs using Deneen's signature Glaze Engraved medallion process. Clients include national parks, restaurants, breweries, and bed-and-breakfasts across the country. The facility runs on solar power and produces up to 3,000 mugs per day.
