“We hand-create every aspect of a mug, hand-dipping and high-firing it at 2200

degrees for durability,” says Tom Dunsirn, Sunset Hill owner. “Inside each mug you’ll

feel the potter’s individual fingertip grooves. The end result is a piece of stoneware art

that is attractive, functional and uniquely yours.”

Go-to favorites for Sunset Hill’s clients include the 14-ounce and 16-ounce

mugs that work as client gifts and employee recognition items, says Dunsirn.
