Description
A classic enamel camp mug in a soft butter yellow, finished with a deep forest-green rolled rim. The glossy enamel covers it inside and out, and the looped handle is the same sunny yellow. It's light, sturdy and properly retro, just right for your morning chai, a pencil pot on the desk, or a little planter on the windowsill.
That shiny finish is actually glass. Enamelware is made by fusing powdered glass onto steel in a kiln at around 750 to 850°C. The powder melts, flows and hardens into a smooth, glassy coat ("vitreous" comes from the Latin for glassy). The coating protects the metal from rust, which is why enamel mugs have been the go-to for campers, soldiers and road-trippers for well over a century.
