Jun 11, 2024 | By Sarah L., Rutland, VT
Absolutely love Bennington Pottery. I grew up down the street from Bennington Pottery and have loved it ever since I was a kid. I have started a collection for each one of my children. I little piece of Bennington to share with them. You will not be disappointed.

This mug is wonderful. I love the craftsmanship. I love the design.
Perfect design

These mugs allow a firm grip without leaving a finger pressed up against a hot cup. And the wall are thin and gently tapered creating an elegant look.
Trigger Mug
Mar 13, 2024 | By Karen, Newport, VT
I love my new mug. It replaces a previous mug that I had for 21 years and recently dropped. What I like about the Bennington mugs is that they keep my tea hot for a long time.
A 33 year favorite!
Feb 6, 2024 | By Jessica, Mountain View, CA
33 years ago, I bought a mug as a souvenir at the Smithsonian. It's been a favorite for the way it fits in my hand, perfect for cradling a hot drink on a cold day. It cracked after decades of use, and I was delighted to find that Bennington Potters is still in business and making this iconic design!
A Lifelong Relationship
Jan 28, 2024 | By Josh B., Portland, OR
I grew up visiting Bennington Potters on annual family day outings to Vermont. It was one of a handful of regular places we would stop along our regular route. My father eventually ended up with a set of Bennington plates, bowls, and trigger mugs, which he brought to his parents' house in Ogunquit, Maine after they had passed. Now that my father, too, has passed on from this world, those trigger mugs hold memories of morning coffee at the antique table, overlooking the river mouth in Ogunquit, chitchatting about our lives and the day ahead. With so much that has changed since I was that kid walking through the old Bennington Potters, it is comforting that the iconic trigger mug lives on and holds for me so many memories.
MY FAVORITE MUGS FOR DECADES
Jan 28, 2024 | By Donna H., Skaneateles, NY
I think I got my first Bennington trigger mugs almost 50 years ago--and they were probably hand-me-downs from my parents! They were white and, over the decades, they got stained from the coffee and tea we drank. So I handed them down to *my* kids. I still have a shiny glaze blue & white speckled mug I picked up at an outlet store in Maine. But my other mugs weren't Benningtons, and they weren't comfortable in my hand. I recently decided to treat myself to 4 new mugs in the matte blue. The lip is much thinner than my old speckled mug, so I'm hoping the new ones are as sturdy. So far I love them.
I also love that they are made in the USA, not just for the historic connection but because real artisans are employed and paid for their labor.
I also used to have trigger soup mugs that were perfect for soup and chili. It looks like they aren't made anymore. If they're ever re-introduced, I'd replace my Fiestaware soup mugs with Bennington trigger soup mugs, too. (Hint, hint.)

I had 2 mugs, which I loved. Had them for years. Recently the handles broke off on both mugs. May have been our fault so will have to buy more as replacements.

Jan 14, 2024 | By George, Willington, CT
My first mug we purchased on a trip to Vermont in the early 90's. I have used this coffee mug every day since. I accidentally dropped and broke it a few weeks ago. I really didn't want to break in a different coffee cup (even though I tried a couple) I love my trigger mug

New mug replaced my 63 year old broken mug
Nov 23, 2023 | By Eileen H., Reston, VA
Yes, my 60 year old trigger mug, the one I used every morning for my cup of coffee finally had its last day. It was an accident that I sadly caused. I immediately ordered a new trigger mug. It's part of my morning and comfort zone (the trigger handle is great). I'm about to turn 80 so I will not have another 60 years, but whatever is left will include my favorite mug for my morning coffee.
PS - it's also my afternoon tea mug!

A B & B served coffee in these and we asked where we could purchase some. Love the comfort of the 2 finger handles. So comfortable. These would also make great gifts. Beautiful quality. We purchased Black on Slate, Black on Green and Morning Glory Blue. Would definitely buy again.
Bennington mugs
Nov 13, 2023 | By Jillyan L., Salem, NY
I have been buying Bennington pottery for years and years-plates, bowls,mugs-you name it. Always loved the way they look and they are perfect gifts. PLUS-for us, a trip over to Bennington is always fun!
Beautiful Mugs!
Sep 7, 2023 | By Debbie L., Wilmington, NC
My mom had purchased a set of these mugs when we went on a vacation to Vermont 50 years ago. Those mugs have been passed down to a grandchild. I purchased these for my sister and myself. Such good memories drinking coffee from these when we were growing up. They are exactly as I remembered.
The Holy Grail of Mugs!
Jun 18, 2023 | By Shyann C., Bigfork, MT
I have a thing for mugs, and this one is my hands-down favorite. After I bought it, I donated all my other mugs (some of them hand-made and very expensive) to the thrift store because I no longer used them. The Bennington Potters Tall Trigger Mug was literally the only mug I would reach for in my cupboard. I appreciate the blue agate glaze, which harmonizes with my rustic mountain home. The tall, narrow shape keeps my drink warm longer and gives it a bit of an elevated feel. The narrower width is comfortable to drink from, too, as it gently "cups" your mouth. I have large hands, so most mug handles don't fit my fingers comfortably. Therefore, I wasn't sure I'd like a handle that used only two finger loops. But I love it! Stable and very comfortable. I like the handle's long, continuous attachment point, instead of having two separate, tiny attachment points, like a standard mug handle. And with the handle so compact and close to the body of the mug, it is less likely to get broken. I don't take hot drinks with me in the car, but for those who do, this shape would fit most vehicle cup holders. A dear friend admired my trigger mug so much that I bought her one, too. This makes a thoughtful and affordable birthday or Christmas present that is bound to be loved by the recipient. Bennington Potters, you nailed this one! Please offer it in more glaze options!!

My family had a set of these trigger mugs with triangular shaped sandwich/dessert plates. The set was in black-and-white 40 years later I still have one cup and things to be able to order directly from you. I have a half a dozen! Same quality..same design - I couldn't be happier!
Trigger Mugs Make Perfect Gifts
Jan 10, 2023 | By Judi, Charlotte, NC
My husband and I have had our morning tea in your elements blue trigger mugs for years, and we love them so much, we won't use any other mugs. Over the holidays, I was looking for something special for a good friend since I always buy the same nice but predictable gifts - jewelry, books, holiday treats. I don't know what made me think of your trigger mugs, but a week before Christmas, I ordered my friend six speckled morning glory blue trigger mugs and they arrived before Christmas. She was just delighted and said they would get used every day. They are pretty and cheery and a perfect way to start, enjoy or end the day.

Jun 24, 2022 | By Robin, Boulder, CO
We have had several trigger mugs, but one broke recently. So I ordered 2 more for my husband. He has arthritis in his fingers and finds the trigger very easy and painless to hold as compared to regular mugs. But frankly, we all enjoy their look, utility, and craftsmanship!

Ellen BaronI have been using the trigger markers for the past 35 to 40 years I bought them for the first time at your shop in Bennington it's the only mug I ever drink from I've given them as gifts and I enjoy the Blazers as well as the Mac finished the only suggestion I would make I would like the trigger to be a little bit wider

An old goody!
Apr 17, 2022 | By Vanessa, Weehawken, NJ
About 20 years ago I purchased one of my favorite mugs from a little home shop near Harrisburg PA. Last month my one year old broke said mug and my heart broke a little too. Immediately I looked at the bottoms of the mug to see if I could find the maker and by some chance that same mug. Well I was delighted to find the website for Bennington and not only my same mug in the same color I had bought so long ago but a ton of other pieces to go with it. The mug arrived and besides the break could not tell the difference between the old and the new ...
Impressed with the consistency over 20 years. The quality is great and found more things I look forward to purchasing!

Trigger Mugs
Mar 3, 2022 | By Adam, Cincinnati, OH
When we bought our house, the prior owner left some kitchen stuff for us to decide to keep or not. One of the items was a trigger mug. I love this mug, but it developed a small crack in the side over time. So i realized this was a stamped mug and went online to Bennington's website and ordered more. They are the perfect size for my morning espresso drink, and also for a little more coffee after!
Form and Function
Feb 9, 2022 | By Orpha, Hebo, OR
I grew up with these mugs in the 60's and 70's. My parents were coffee drinkers and these were our house mugs. Having lost both of my parents in the last three years, I have been feeling sentimental about my childhood. I ordered a set of the Trigger Mugs thinking they would feel like a souvenir, of sorts, of my childhood. They are a lot more than that.
I love these mugs. Every time I look at them, I smile. They are a great size and the matte glaze, straight sides and trigger handle give this mug a timeless, cool silhouette. The rim is sized to perfection, so its comfortable to sip from and there's no drips. They are a souvenir of my youth, for sure, but even better I love them as much as my parents did.

Growing up, my grandparents had many trigger mugs with different patterns. It wasn't until I got older and was passed down only a few remaining that I decided to look into Bennington Potters to add more trigger mugs to the ones I'd been handed down. The trigger mug is more than just an exceptionally functional and comfortable mug. It's many memories of my childhood and I don't think I shall ever be without one.

Love these mugs! I bought my first ones at a store probably 25 years ago. They had solid blue ones and rust-colored ones.(Not trigger handles) I still have one of the blue ones but when I couldn't get them any more, moved on to the trigger handles ones. I also have the tankard mugs for the men, who seem to appreciate that rugged item more.

We always stopped at Bennington Potters when we went to visit my grandmother in Upstate NY, we were coming from the Cape, it was a nice stretch and my mom always bought a piece or two. My dad loved the trigger mug, it was his favorite and everytime I use my set I smile and think of him. His favorite mug is now my favorite and hopefully my daughter will feel the same some day.

I love everything about these mugs. The 2 finger handle is unique and very comfortable to hold. The quality in this pottery is superb! I started with a fluted pie plate and square baker, and I now have several pieces. The mixing bowl with spout and handle is so easy to use and seems to be the right size for so many cooking and baking needs.

The trigger mug is a lovely, refined subtle form with an exquisite, sand-colored, matte glaze.
Very, very happy

This was a nostalgic buy. Used to go to Bennington Potters as a teenager with my family. My husband surprised me with two trigger mugs and my favorite coffee for my birthday. Beautiful & hip!
Stable mugs

I added another mug to my set of 3. I love the trigger mug because of its stabilty and the way you hold it. Anything with a blue agate glaze is always my favorite too!

Love the trigger mug. It was the one thing when we visited the factory last year that my husband said we need to have.

I ordered these mugs for my nephew who had previously commented on how much he liked mine. They were a surprise gift for him; he is a resident in a city hospital and I wanted to surprise him with a gift ...small gesture to let him know we are thinking of him.
Love my mug!

A great way to start the day: coffee from a beautifully crafted mug!
Nostalgic!

I have loved the Bennington trigger mug since buying some in the 80's. When the inside was white, and there were more colors (like pink - loved the pink). And light blue. But the size of the cup and 2 finger grip are perfect.

Trigger Happy

Growing up my parents had a couple of these mugs and I have always loved them and finally pulled the trigger on getting some for myself . They are sturdy , ergonomic, and just all around great mugs . I will certainly be adding to my collection at some point soon .
Difficult to find

Had 4 trigger mugs since 1960's. 3 broke and I was happy to find these replacements. Thanks for keeping an old design in stock.
Perfect mugs
Jan 4, 2020 | By Janny M., Albany, NY
I bought two different colors, each with the hot chocolate bottles, to give to my 9 yr and 6 yr old grandchildren. They love having a mug to call their own. The 11 oz. size is just right for their idea of a big mug of hot chocolate, and the trigger handles provide a steady grip for young fingers. The glaze colors are beautiful. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Treasured Classics

Our original Bennington Potters 'Trigger Mugs' have held our coffees and every beverage - Yes, even 'spirited' - at our homes in Vermont and Connecticut since the early Seventies . . . time to replenish our stock to serve further generations - an American 'classic' design! Form follows function! Perfect.
Trigger Finger Mug

I absolutely love this mug. As I get older it becomes more difficult to hold a mug. With this handle I can enjoy my coffee and tea and not worry about dropping it. Beautiful color and quality!

These trigger mugs are very comfortable to hold. Great for hot tea!
Love trigger mugs

I recently bought three more. Love the classic white on white with glossy glaze, over the satin glaze. My parents had trigger mugs at their camp when I was a kid so I have been using them for 50+ years. They were thinner pottery then, some with diagonal geometric glaze patterns. The current splatter glazes are nice also.

Best coffee mugs around

We just replaced two of our vintage Bennington trigger mugs after 20 years of service and a few chips. They hold the right amount of morning coffee and the two-finger holes work perfectly.
Great mugs

Excellent and beautiful! They are well made and keep my coffee hot.

Someone knocked over my last remaining trigger mug ... blue and whitish ... I'm in mourning.

Mug Favorite

Almost 60 years ago we bought 6 trigger handle mugs in Burlington. We have one remaining with a small chip. When I learned they were still available, I ordered 6. 4 for our daughter's forthcoming marriage in the school colors of green and white (MSU) and gold and brown (WMU). The remaining two for us are yellow and blue (U of M)....go Blu! My morning coffee tastes so good in my blue trigger handle mug!

I have been a customer for about 40 years and still add to my mug collection. I started with the modeling blue and now own light blue, pink and yellow. Still, have all my originals.

Over the years Ive bought several things from bennington pottery and every item is beyond expectation. customer service is great whether in the store or on line. thanks guys
Happy purchase
Jun 11, 2019 | By Bill, Georgetown, ME
These are my wife's morning favorite for her coffee. Just the right size and balance, and they keep the liquid hot longer than other cups she has used. We bought two of the about 20 years ago. One of them broke recently, so she has babied the one remaining. I was happy to see that Bennington Potters still make them, and that they are the same quality
love this mug

the high quality standards in materials being used is what drove my purchase. the cool design and color choices made me even happier! the trigger mug is so nice to hold and it's simplicity in design is super appealing. i'm excited to start building my collection of bennington pottery!
Care and Feeding of your Trigger Mugs
May 16, 2019 | By Ed K., North Attleboro, MA
We originally bought these mugs in the summer of 2012 at the store in Bennington. We have bought replacements on two occasions. The first replacements (Element Green) were a little lighter than our originals. For the second reorder we asked for darker mugs and those shipped were a perfect match.
Both times we were replacing mugs for chips on the rim, It finally dawned on me that the shelf where they were stored is crowded and the rims would clink whenever they were being put away. So we relocated a couple of items to make sure they would not bang into each other. So far, so good.

This is not my first Trigger Mug. They're great, the only coffee mug I use!
Love it!
Feb 26, 2019 | By Gail, Marble Head, MA
We love the design of our new trigger mug. Very comfortable to grasp. The description said it holds 11 oz. capacity. We find it only holds 9 oz. tops. Not a problem as long as we set our coffee maker on a lower setting.

I have been purchasing these mugs since the early 1970s. They are a true classic with a sturdy feel for grip. Especially if you have arthritis in your fingers.

Fits hand perfectly, comfortable and secure. And looks great too.

My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary with a New England trip. And of course we toured your pottery facility and purchased our first blue agate. A trigger mug was one of the purchases which broke recently with much sadness on my end. A new trigger mug was purchased to add to my collection.
Just love every piece I own!

Great glazing, weight and perfect handle. I got one in the late 90's from an antique store in California. It broke in 2004 --it took 14 years to think to look on the internet and reunite me with my favorite mug and Bennington potters.

Family favorite
Nov 28, 2018 | By Shelley K, Saint Joseph, MO
Our family has had trigger mugs for years. When my son was ten and visiting grandparents in NH, he told my mom he liked her mugs and drank everything from one every day. She sent him home with one. Now he's 29 and asked what happened to Grandma's mugs. He has the only one so I ordered a couple for him for Christmas. Today I found out my cousins have a set of dishes including some mugs!
I love the finish of your dishes.

You cannot go wrong with these mugs! I bought 2 as seconds at the physical store in VT 4 years ago, and they are still looking great. Unique design, love the different ways I can comfortably hold the cup in my hand.
LOVE these mugs!

I purchased two of the trigger mugs when I visited earlier this year. My tea has never tasted better than it does in these mugs. It also seems to stay warmer longer. I broke both of them recently, so I am ordering more!
In it for the long haul
Nov 8, 2015 | By Dani S., Missoula, MT
I've had six of the blue agate trigger mugs for at least 30 years now - the original six with no crazing, nicks, or roughness and they're used a lot. There are a number of other Bennington products in my home but these mugs are absolutely the best.
