McKenna Scherer, Managing Editor: Local artist Elizabeth Carey, a self-described jack of all trades, master of none, is the ceramicist behind this self-described coffee mug hoarder/lover's favorite mug. Its pinky opalescent glaze is stunning; its unbothered, textured base kind of feels like home. Underneath the high-shine gloss, this curvy thing is sturdy enough to handle just about anything. (Talking about the mug, of course.)
