Speckled Stoneware Lug-Handle Mug

$22.00Price

A hand-thrown studio mug in a speckled oatmeal glaze over raw toasty clay, with a sculptural pinched lug in place of a loop handle.

BEHIND THE FIND 🕵️‍♀️

I grabbed these becuase they looked like cheerful little vintage kitchen prints.

Then I noticed the Morton Salt branding and went down the rabbit hole.

Here’s what made them so interesting...

@mortonsalt had a pretty basic problem: salt is cheap, everyone already has it, and people only need so much.

So instead of simply telling people to buy more salt, they found a smarter way to sell it. They started giving people more reasons to use it.

Morton tied salt to seasonal foods and positioned it as something that could make fresh food taste better.

So those sweet little pictures are actually behavioral advertising.

They weren't just saying, "Look how pretty tomatoes are"

They were like, "You know that tomato you already eat? It needs Morton Salt."
That corn, Morton.
That watermelon? Morton.
Grapefruit? Yep, Morton too.

And grapefruit has its own story. During WWII, when sugar was rationed, Morton promoted adding salt to grapefruit because it cut the bitterness and made it taste sweeter, meaning people could use less sugar. The idea stuck, and Morton kept promoting it into the 1950s.

Then came the melons.

By 1954, Harriet and Bernard Pertchik’s artwork was running with the line: “Any melon worth its salt… is worth Morton’s.”

They didn't stop there, there was another clever layer. Some versions of the ads apparently allowed consumers to mail in 25¢ and receive the artwork without the advertising copy, turning an advertisement into something you'd literally frame and hang in your kitchen.

So yes, they’re charming little vintage prints. But they’re also a pretty brilliant piece of mid-century advertising!

Behind the Find 🕵️

I almost passed on this one because it’s not the glam silver ice buckets I usually look for.

But I loved the patina, the hammered finish and of course the lion’s-head ring pulls. So into the car it went.

Once I got it home, I found the weathered away maker’s mark: Chas J. ——something —— Brooklyn, N.Y.

Of course this sent me down the rabbit hole. A few false flags, but eventually, I figured it out.

Charles J. Hauck & Son - Brooklyn, NY

In the late 1800s, Charles J. Hauck & Son was known as a Brooklyn manufacturer of bar supplies. The Hauck family was developing some of the tools that helped shape American cocktail culture.

In 1884, Charles Hauck’s son Edward patented a shaker for mixing drinks, complete with an integrated strainer and venting system. A few years later, Charles J. Hauck Jr. patented his own bar strainer and an “agitator of liquids.”

So this little bucket came from a family business that was making and inventing barware during the very era when cocktail culture in America was taking shape.

🪄 It’s these stories that make me love what I do so much.

Every. Single. Piece. Gets researched.

Sometimes I find exactly what I thought I found. Sometimes I find out I was very wrong. And sometimes I uncover a story that makes the piece so much more interesting.

Hopefully I didn’t bore you into oblivion… because I’m hoping to share more of these with you.

Behind the Find — a new weekly series about the things I bring home, why they caught my eye, and what I discover once I start digging.

You never know when a field trip might turn into a picnic. Best to be prepared: a good book, an antique leather bottle carrier, hand-painted bowls, and a bottle of something decent.

P.S. The vintage leather bottle carrier is available for purchase. The bottle, sadly, is empty.

An assortment of Italian bowls and tableware are also available — no shortage of excuses to plan your next picnic.

Good taste isn’t an algorithm.

Just a good eye, a LOT of searching, and the thrill of finding that something special.

If you’d rather skip the endless searching, I’ve done it so you can just skip to the good part.

A match made in heaven 😍
Paired these incredible sconces I sourced from @rustmodernhome with my favorite piece of art. Love how they accentuate the gold in the painting! A little maximalism never hurt anyone, right?

Sunday mornings are my favorite at the store. Before anyone comes in, I get to enjoy the quiet, do a few styling tweaks and absorb all the details. I still sometimes can’t believe that this beautiful little store is all mine and I’m so lucky to be able to share it!

We don’t usually travel this time of year because Cleveland is so wonderful in the summer, but my son begged to go on vacation. Jeff has traveled non-stop for work this year, and my boys aced their freshman year in college.

As for me, since I opened the store in October, I have been running myself absolutely ragged.

I still stage homes, sell real estate, and source non stop. After doing two markets last weekend and promptly getting sick yet again, I realized that I need to slow down. How I’m going to do that is TBD but for this week, I’m so grateful to have this opportunity to rest and spend quality time with my family! 🫶

Just landed. From Milan to Springfield and a few places in between. Every piece lovingly found and ready for its new story.

There are certain treasures I find that are so difficult for me part with. But I am slowly getting better at letting go…

My favorites right now:
From Italy 🇮🇹
▫️Polished onyx catchall with beautiful natural banding in warm caramel, blush, and cream tones. Such a timeless accent piece for styling atop a coffee table — $140

▫️Paired with the perfect coffee table book, “Cagli” — an oversized art monograph celebrating Italian artist Corrado Cagli, featuring richly reproduced works and archival imagery. A timeless reference book and styling piece from Italy. $55

Handmade Raku vase - perfectly smoky blush and charcoal with earthy tones. The crackled, fire-kissed finish gives it an organic sculptural presence. $85
- Japan 🇯🇵

Metal vase - obsessed with the mix of yummy gold and copper stripes on this. Warm, graphic and collected.
Sourced in Italy 🇮🇹 - $80

Spring shelfie refresh! One of my favorite things about my kitchen is this sweet little shelf to display my pretties. So glad I blocked out all the naysayers and installed this insane Calacatta Arabescato from @marbleandgraniteconcepts. Two years in and it’s still 🤌🏼😍

Recap on my experience later but here’s a quick highlight reel!

This group of beautiful Milanese stole the show last night. Young, confident, and just achingly stylish.

The first day I arrived in DC I met this magnificent woman. 22 years later… she’s been my partner in crime, accomplice, sister, aunt to my boys and so much more. We get to share Milan Design week and I’m pretty ecstatic!

These first warm days have me dreaming of al fresco dinners to come. Great friends, a simple meal pulled from my favorite #ottolenghi cookbook. Moroccan tableware, lemons, sardines. Casually thrown together at the last moment. The antithesis of “let’s get something on the calendar”.
