The Mug House: Honoring the Art You Sip From
Share
There are mugs we use… and then there are mugs we know.
The one with the quirky glaze from that weekend market in Minneapolis. The one your best friend made in a pottery class and gifted you with zero explanation. The one that somehow makes your coffee taste better because of the way it fits in your hands.
These mugs are more than just vessels—they’re tiny, functional pieces of art. And yet, most of them end up hidden in a cupboard, stacked behind the freebie from your old job or the souvenir mug you swear you’re going to donate (but never do).
Anna Bailey wanted better for her favorite mugs.
A Cabinet Born From Love (and a Very Good Cup of Coffee)
The Mug House was born the way a lot of Anna’s ideas are: over coffee, surrounded by art. As a collector of ceramic work from makers she admires, Anna found herself craving a way to display those mugs rather than just store them.
She imagined a wooden cabinet that could be a gallery wall for her mug collection. A statement piece that didn’t just hold mugs—it celebrated them. And that’s how the Mug House came to life: as functional art, made to showcase functional art.
Designed for Daily Joy
The Mug House is available in two sizes: a full display that holds 12 mugs, and a mini version that cradles just one. Think of it like a main stage and a solo spotlight.
The large Mug House is perfect for a curated collection—an artistic, symmetrical display that turns your kitchen wall or coffee corner into a warm, personal exhibit. And the Mini? It's your mug’s moment to shine. Whether hung solo or arranged in a custom grid, the Mini Mug House lets you build your own visual story, one mug at a time.
Why It Matters
In a world of fast everything, it’s easy to overlook the beauty in the items we use every day. The Anna Bailey Home line is about changing that—about creating objects that are not only useful but also meaningful. The Mug House is a reminder that beauty belongs in our daily routines, not just on special occasions.
Because your favorite mug deserves more than a dark cabinet. It deserves a home that honors the hands that made it and the moments it’s held.
