The Three Sisters mountain range with a forested lake will remind you of camping and fishing in central Oregon, or wherever you'd like to imagine this peaceful nature scene resides.
Each multi-colored cascade mug is lovingly shaped by hand from rustic clay before we sandcarve our original graphics into the drippy glaze. These are completely made in Portland, Oregon in small batches, so stock will be very limited.
The beauty of these pieces are their completely unique coloring and slightly lumpy shapes. The glaze has a very glossy finish, with a base coat of black under a dripping layer which varies in color throughout. Each mug is unique, and will have visible signs of being handmade such as small bumps, signs of fingerprints, and other features which we don't consider to be flaws. The deeply engraved areas have crisp edges, and show off the bare clay beneath.
There will be some variation in the placement of designs, but we can often accommodate special requests so the best features of a wraparound design face the holder (ask for left handed). Smaller designs will be duplicated on both sides of the mug.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sandcarving?
Sandcarving (also called "sandblasting") is an artistic process that permanently carves a design using pressurized abrasive grit. We sandblast onto glass, glazed ceramics, and stainless steel, but sandblasting can also be done on other hard materials like stone.
I create digital art, which I print onto transparency film, and then use to create a self-adhesive photo-emulsion stencil specifically for sandblasting. Each item has this single-use stencil applied to its surface with a burnisher, then it’s carefully masked. The final etching step is a trip into our professional blasting cabinet, where high-pressure silicon carbide grit carves the permanent design.
Watch videos about our process on YouTube.
Is Sandcarving Permanent?
Sandcarving is one of the most durable image transfer method out there. Since the process removes the top layer of glass or ceramic glaze by carving into it, there isn't any possible way to remove the design.
There are a lot of decals and screen printing out there on dishware that wear off with time. Our process will never do that! Sandblasting also has a smooth, even finish with crisp edges, unlike laser-etching which shows a matrix pattern on its etched surface, and acid cream etching which can be splotchy, and uneven.
Are Your Products Dishwasher- and Microwave-Safe?
Yes! All our glassware and ceramics are food-safe, and can be washed in a dishwasher, even sanitized. The design will never fade, wear, or scratch. We recommend hand-washing silicone travel lids with unscented soap.
All mugs are microwave-safe as well, and shouldn't get any hotter than any other microwave-safe cups.
Our metal cups should definitely not go in a microwave (yikes!), but they are dishwasher-safe.
Are Your Products Made in USA?
We buy blank glass and ceramic items, and sandblast our original artwork onto them by hand in Portland, OR. All our glassware items are made in the USA, but our ceramic mugs are manufactured in China and finished here, which is considered "assembled in USA".
We are currently sourcing locally-made products for sandcarving. USA-made drinkware will be more expensive than our other products, but we'll be able to support other small businesses in our area.
Are Your Products Lead-Free?
We hold all our products to exacting standards (since our family uses them, too), so all products are free of lead, cadmium, and BPA. We're happy to share glaze reports if you'd like to see more data about safety.
The glazes used on our mugs meet California’s Proposition 65 strict limits for leaching of lead and cadmium (0.99 ppm lead and 7.92 ppm cadmium). In fact, our glazes are non-detect at testing detection limits well below (< 0.01 ppm for both). This is really fantastic!
What is the Life Expectancy of Your Products?
Technically, they should be able to last multiple lifetimes. We understand that accidents happen, and our items are definitely fragile, but they aren't any more fragile than most other dishware on the market. We consider them more sturdy than some other brands available, and keep our standards quite high for durability.
To prolong the life of your Bread and Badger cups and avoid breakage, we recommend against nesting (stacking them inside or on top of each other).
Some staining of silicone lids is unavoidable on lighter colors, so we recommend choosing darker colored lids if this bothers you.

These cherry blossom flower mugs are one-of-a-kind, just like you! The galaxy purple glaze flows around with tiny flecks of blue and red, making each one different.
Each multi-colored cascade mug is lovingly shaped by hand from rustic clay before we sandcarve our original graphics into the drippy glaze. These are completely made in Portland, Oregon in small batches, so stock will be very limited.
The beauty of these pieces are their completely unique coloring and slightly lumpy shapes.

Each mug is unique, and will have visible signs of being handmade such as small bumps, signs of fingerprints, and other features which we don't consider to be flaws. The deeply engraved areas have crisp edges, and show off the bare clay beneath.
There will be some variation in the placement of designs, but we can often accommodate special requests so the best features of a wraparound design face the holder (ask for left handed). Smaller designs will be duplicated on both sides of the mug.

These hand-formed drip glaze mugs are one-of-a-kind with any of your favorite Bread and Badger designs. Leave a note during checkout with your choice of wraparound design, or single-side design which we'll engrave on both sides of the mug. The blue color is an aurora borealis of blues and greens washing down the mug like the deep sea. The purple glaze looks like red and blue galaxies swirling through space.
TO ORDER:
Add your favorite glaze color to the cart, then immediately find the "Order Note" section below (within the cart before you check out), tell us which design you'd like engraved to-order. There will be some variation in the placement of designs, but we can often accommodate special requests so the best features face the holder (ask for left handed).
We can put any stock images from our catalog on these, either single or double-sided for the same price.

Beach life is calm and colorful, just like this handmade Sea Turtle mug. The bubbly nautical turtle engraving is my original art, sandblasted on both sides of each mug from my home studio so the designs will last forever. These mugs are one-of-a-kind, just like you! Choose deep sea purple or tropical blue/green.
Each multi-colored cascade mug is lovingly shaped by hand from rustic clay before we sandcarve our original graphics into the drippy glaze. These are completely made in Portland, Oregon in small batches, so stock will be very limited.

To prolong the life of your Bread and Badger cups and avoid breakage, we recommend against nesting (stacking them inside or on top of each other).
Some staining of silicone lids is unavoidable on lighter colors, so we recommend choosing darker colored lids if this bothers you.

Deep Breath Meditation Mug, Cascade Style Handmade Pottery
No reviews
Regular price
$60.00
each
/
only 2 in stock
These meditation mugs are one-of-a-kind, just like you! Choose galaxy purple or calming blue/green to help you settle your mind and breath more deeply. Each mug is deeply engraved on both sides, so you can feel the graphics no matter how you hold them. A thoughtful gift to aid in mindful meditation, this quality piece is lighter-weight than our other mugs.
There will be some variation in the placement of designs. Each mug will have the Spiral graphic on one side and the Circle "square breathing" loop with the triangle and sun graphic on the other.
Mindful Breathing Instructions:
- Read this blog post with a video of how to use your Deep Breath Mug.
- A decorative bookmark with techniques is included with each mug.
Each multi-colored cascade mug is lovingly shaped by hand from rustic clay before we sandcarve our original graphics into the drippy glaze. These are completely made in Portland, Oregon in small batches, so stock will be very limited.
The beauty of these pieces are their completely unique coloring and slightly lumpy shapes. The glaze has a very glossy finish, with a base coat of black under a dripping layer which varies in color throughout. Each mug is unique, and will have visible signs of being handmade such as small bumps, signs of fingerprints, and other features which we don't consider to be flaws. The deeply engraved areas have crisp edges, and show off the bare clay beneath.
There will be some variation in the placement of designs, but we can often accommodate special requests so the best features of a wraparound design face the holder (ask for left handed). Smaller designs will be duplicated on both sides of the mug.
Shop for other Deep Breath Meditation items here, or view the full Cascade Collection here.
All our mugs are made of glazed ceramic, making them dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe. Cascade mugs vary in size, and most hold roughly 15oz.
- Dishwasher-safe
- Microwave-safe
- Shipped every weekday
- Beautiful, sturdy packaging; ready to gift

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sandcarving?
Sandcarving (also called "sandblasting") is an artistic process that permanently carves a design using pressurized abrasive grit. We sandblast onto glass, glazed ceramics, and stainless steel, but sandblasting can also be done on other hard materials like stone.
I create digital art, which I print onto transparency film, and then use to create a self-adhesive photo-emulsion stencil specifically for sandblasting. Each item has this single-use stencil applied to its surface with a burnisher, then it’s carefully masked. The final etching step is a trip into our professional blasting cabinet, where high-pressure silicon carbide grit carves the permanent design.
Watch videos about our process on YouTube.
Is Sandcarving Permanent?
Sandcarving is one of the most durable image transfer method out there. Since the process removes the top layer of glass or ceramic glaze by carving into it, there isn't any possible way to remove the design.
There are a lot of decals and screen printing out there on dishware that wear off with time. Our process will never do that! Sandblasting also has a smooth, even finish with crisp edges, unlike laser-etching which shows a matrix pattern on its etched surface, and acid cream etching which can be splotchy, and uneven.
Are Your Products Dishwasher- and Microwave-Safe?
Yes! All our glassware and ceramics are food-safe, and can be washed in a dishwasher, even sanitized. The design will never fade, wear, or scratch. We recommend hand-washing silicone travel lids with unscented soap.
All mugs are microwave-safe as well, and shouldn't get any hotter than any other microwave-safe cups.
Our metal cups should definitely not go in a microwave (yikes!), but they are dishwasher-safe.
Are Your Products Made in USA?
We buy blank glass and ceramic items, and sandblast our original artwork onto them by hand in Portland, OR. All our glassware items are made in the USA, but our ceramic mugs are manufactured in China and finished here, which is considered "assembled in USA".
We are currently sourcing locally-made products for sandcarving. USA-made drinkware will be more expensive than our other products, but we'll be able to support other small businesses in our area.
Are Your Products Lead-Free?
We hold all our products to exacting standards (since our family uses them, too), so all products are free of lead, cadmium, and BPA. We're happy to share glaze reports if you'd like to see more data about safety.
The glazes used on our mugs meet California’s Proposition 65 strict limits for leaching of lead and cadmium (0.99 ppm lead and 7.92 ppm cadmium). In fact, our glazes are non-detect at testing detection limits well below (< 0.01 ppm for both). This is really fantastic!
What is the Life Expectancy of Your Products?
Technically, they should be able to last multiple lifetimes. We understand that accidents happen, and our items are definitely fragile, but they aren't any more fragile than most other dishware on the market. We consider them more sturdy than some other brands available, and keep our standards quite high for durability.
To prolong the life of your Bread and Badger cups and avoid breakage, we recommend against nesting (stacking them inside or on top of each other).

Ginkgo leaves gently float around this plum-colored drip mug, dancing with dewdrops. This floral mug is for people who appreciate the calm of watching sunlight dapple leaves as the seasons change.
Each multi-colored cascade mug is lovingly shaped by hand from rustic clay before we sandcarve our original graphics into the drippy glaze. These are completely made in Portland, Oregon in small batches, so stock will be very limited.
The beauty of these pieces are their completely unique coloring and slightly lumpy shapes. The glaze has a very glossy finish, with a base coat of black under a dripping layer which varies in color throughout. Each mug is unique, and will have visible signs of being handmade such as small bumps, signs of fingerprints, and other features which we don't consider to be flaws. The deeply engraved areas have crisp edges, and show off the bare clay beneath.
There will be some variation in the placement of designs, but we can often accommodate special requests so the best features of a wraparound design face the holder (ask for left handed). Smaller designs will be duplicated on both sides of the mug.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sandcarving?
Sandcarving (also called "sandblasting") is an artistic process that permanently carves a design using pressurized abrasive grit. We sandblast onto glass, glazed ceramics, and stainless steel, but sandblasting can also be done on other hard materials like stone.
I create digital art, which I print onto transparency film, and then use to create a self-adhesive photo-emulsion stencil specifically for sandblasting. Each item has this single-use stencil applied to its surface with a burnisher, then it’s carefully masked. The final etching step is a trip into our professional blasting cabinet, where high-pressure silicon carbide grit carves the permanent design.
Watch videos about our process on YouTube.
Is Sandcarving Permanent?
Sandcarving is one of the most durable image transfer method out there. Since the process removes the top layer of glass or ceramic glaze by carving into it, there isn't any possible way to remove the design.
There are a lot of decals and screen printing out there on dishware that wear off with time. Our process will never do that! Sandblasting also has a smooth, even finish with crisp edges, unlike laser-etching which shows a matrix pattern on its etched surface, and acid cream etching which can be splotchy, and uneven.
Are Your Products Dishwasher- and Microwave-Safe?
Yes! All our glassware and ceramics are food-safe, and can be washed in a dishwasher, even sanitized. The design will never fade, wear, or scratch. We recommend hand-washing silicone travel lids with unscented soap.
All mugs are microwave-safe as well, and shouldn't get any hotter than any other microwave-safe cups.
Our metal cups should definitely not go in a microwave (yikes!), but they are dishwasher-safe.
Are Your Products Made in USA?
We buy blank glass and ceramic items, and sandblast our original artwork onto them by hand in Portland, OR. All our glassware items are made in the USA, but our ceramic mugs are manufactured in China and finished here, which is considered "assembled in USA".
We are currently sourcing locally-made products for sandcarving. USA-made drinkware will be more expensive than our other products, but we'll be able to support other small businesses in our area.
Are Your Products Lead-Free?
We hold all our products to exacting standards (since our family uses them, too), so all products are free of lead, cadmium, and BPA. We're happy to share glaze reports if you'd like to see more data about safety.
The glazes used on our mugs meet California’s Proposition 65 strict limits for leaching of lead and cadmium (0.99 ppm lead and 7.92 ppm cadmium). In fact, our glazes are non-detect at testing detection limits well below (< 0.01 ppm for both). This is really fantastic!
What is the Life Expectancy of Your Products?
Technically, they should be able to last multiple lifetimes. We understand that accidents happen, and our items are definitely fragile, but they aren't any more fragile than most other dishware on the market. We consider them more sturdy than some other brands available, and keep our standards quite high for durability.
To prolong the life of your Bread and Badger cups and avoid breakage, we recommend against nesting (stacking them inside or on top of each other).
Some staining of silicone lids is unavoidable on lighter colors, so we recommend choosing darker colored lids if this bothers you.

These honey bee mugs are one-of-a-kind, just like you! Choose galaxy purple or aurora borealis blue/green. These magical pollinator insect mugs make a great gift for a gardener's birthday, Mother's Day, or as an apiculturist (beekeeper) gift.
Each multi-colored cascade mug is lovingly shaped by hand from rustic clay before we sandcarve our original graphics into the drippy glaze. These are completely made in Portland, Oregon in small batches, so stock will be very limited.
The beauty of these pieces are their completely unique coloring and slightly lumpy shapes. The glaze has a very glossy finish, with a base coat of black under a dripping layer which varies in color throughout. Each mug is unique, and will have visible signs of being handmade such as small bumps, signs of fingerprints, and other features which we don't consider to be flaws. The deeply engraved areas have crisp edges, and show off the bare clay beneath.
There will be some variation in the placement of designs, but we can often accommodate special requests so the best features of a wraparound design face the holder (ask for left handed). Smaller designs will be duplicated on both sides of the mug.
