Hope and Joy Mugs

Some gifts carry more meaning than others — and the Hope and Joy Mugs by Prodigal Pottery are exactly that. Each hand-painted ceramic mug is affixed with a handmade pendant reading either Hope or Joy, making them a deeply thoughtful gift for the people you love most. Beautiful at Christmas, meaningful any time of year, and made with a purpose that goes far beyond the cup itself.

Every piece of Prodigal Pottery is handmade in Chelsea, Alabama by women fleeing homelessness, domestic abuse, and sex trafficking. 100% of proceeds support the women they employ — paying salaries and providing life-changing benefits so they have hope and a future. When you purchase one of these mugs, you’re part of that story.

✦ A Note from Whistle Stop Cottage: We carry Prodigal Pottery because we believe in what they’re doing. These mugs are lovely on their own — but knowing the story behind them makes them truly special. If you’re looking for a gift that means something, this is it.
