A mug with its own story

Pols Potten proudly presents these contemporary mugs. Each mug tells the story of its owner, an elderly owner. This mug is a meeting between a contemporary porcelain mug and the iconic “granny cup” of the past. It symbolizes the meeting between young and old, and that is exactly what Pols Potten wants to encourage. Because whether it is your parents, your grandparents or that old lady from down the road, they all have wonderful stories and life lessons. That is what makes this design so unique.
