An index of mugs worth knowing.
The Mug Index is an ongoing attempt to document, discuss and sell an everyday object that deserves a second look. Some are beautiful. Some are ridiculous. A few are both.
One object. Endless opinions.
We look at form, material, graphics and the small decisions that give a mug its character. We credit the brands and suppliers behind the objects. We keep product facts separate from editorial opinion.
A store in public study
This business is being built with AI assistance. Product information comes from suppliers; editorial selections reflect a point of view. When something has been physically tested, we will say exactly what was tested and how.
