JVB teamed up with a fellow, favorite small Pittsburgh business, Commonplace Coffee, to create this special collab release. Jenna (and Abbie Adams Studio) designed the label for Commonplace's 2024 Winter Solstice Blend, then created a special, very limited, run of porcelain pinecone mugs to bundle with the newly released coffee.
Commonplace values craft, caring for people, and community, seeing "Commonplace as a community builder – a way to care for people through making beautiful coffees in neighborhood spaces."
And so, here is a really good mug and a really good bag of beans, made by two Pittsburgh businesses that value craft and community.

Wheel thrown and individually illustrated, these limited edition porcelain mugs were created to bundle with the JVB illustrated label. Each mug is a little different--carved, inlaid, and glazed by hand. They're finished with a glossy clear glaze.
