Swig Cup

$38.00

Eight ounces, no handle, and it moves from a morning latte through afternoon tea to a whiskey at the end of the day. One vessel instead of four, which is what makes it the cup that empties half a cabinet. A weighted base keeps it steady on the table, and a smooth rim makes every sip feel considered.

Every Swig Cup is made by hand in our studio in Providence, Rhode Island. Our clay and glazes are our own, and each glaze carries a mineral sheen that stays low and varies from color to color, with a soft hand that holds through years of daily use. It’s restaurant-grade porcelain and dishwasher safe.

  • Handcrafted in Rhode Island, USA

  • Restaurant-grade porcelain, engineered for chip and crack resistance

  • Food-safe glazes, made without lead or cadmium

  • Dishwasher and microwave safe

  • Oven safe; place in a cold oven and heat gradually

  • 3"W x 3"H | 8oz capacity

  • Made to order, ships by December 4

Pre-Order: Final run. The current Swig Cup retires at the end of 2026. Orders placed by November 1 are made to order and ship by December 4.

Our Glazes

Choosing a color is the part most people find hardest, so here is the honest guide.

All six glazes are our own proprietary recipes, mixed and tested here in the studio. We designed each one to carry visual texture, a fine mineral quality that comes from our raw materials and the way they behave in the kiln. The color reads with depth and character, that shifts with the light rather than sitting flat.

The texture is visual, though: what you feel in the hand is a soft, almost buttery surface, nothing like the slick smoothness of mass-produced ceramics, and it's the part no photo can quite show you.

Our glaze colors were also built to be mixed, so there is no wrong combination. Start with the colors you're drawn to and go from there.

  • Moonlight | Warm, Satin Off-White Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    MOONLIGHT

    Warm off-white with a satin matte finish. Absorbs light softly rather than reflecting it. The most versatile neutral in the collection, present on a table without competing with food or other glazes.

  • Verdigris | Dappled Blue-Green Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    VERDIGRIS

    Blue-green with a dappled gloss patina texture that shifts with light, cooler in daylight, warmer under incandescent. Up close the surface has a geological depth, like aged copper. Our most visually complex glaze in person.

  • Nightfall | Deep & Dappled Navy Blue Glaze | Myrth Ceramics by Myrth

    NIGHTFALL

    Deep navy over a satin base with a dappled gloss speckle, small areas of higher gloss that catch light differently from the surrounding surface. Near-black in low light, distinctly blue in natural. Grounding on a table, striking up close.

  • Dove | Warm Grey Glaze | Myrth Ceramics

    DOVE

    Warm grey with subtle lavender undertones and a satin matte finish. Reads as neutral in most light but adds something you can't quite name. Works equally well alongside the warm glazes and the cool ones.

  • Canyon | Warm Terracotta With Sandy Speckle | Myrth Ceramics

    CANYON

    Warm terracotta with a fine umber speckle across a satin matte surface. The speckle varies naturally from piece to piece, so a mixed table of Canyon reads as alive rather than uniform. Earthy in natural light, picks up red warmth under incandescent.

  • Rosewood | Warm Cocoa Brown | Myrth Ceramics

    ROSEWOOD

    Warm cocoa brown with red undertones and a textured soft gloss finish. Where the glaze thins at the rim it breaks to a thin copper-rose line. Velvety in low light, warmly luminous in natural light.
