 is a Cinderella ceramics story. Owner Lorrie Veasey started
the company by selling her unique pottery designs at small venues and street
fairs held in New York City. What began as a card table on a city sidewalk
evolved over the course of ten years to a multi million dollar company, and
has made a leader
in the ceramic giftware industry.
After experiencing great success at temporary locations,
opened its first
permanent location in Manhattan in 1995, with partners John Nelsen and Kip
Veasey. Building upon the success they experienced in their first small store
front, the partners opened three additional outlets in quick succession.
In New York City,
was quickly
becoming synonymous with unique, whimsical giftware and attracted a variety
of celebrity clients that included Julia Roberts, Bill Murray, and Robert
DeNiro. In 2002, in response to continual requests from retailers across
the country for access to these unique products,
launched a National
wholesale line. They are now a well known leader in the ceramic giftware
industry, with products available in thousands of stores Nationwide.
Each piece in the line is bold, fresh and colorful, with witty sentiments
that make the customer feel that he/she has found a truly unique gift suited
to a specific individual. Our Name is Mud uses lead-free, high density dolomite
ceramic, the most chip resistant and highest quality earthenware on the market.
Each piece is microwave and dishwasher safe.
is a perfect
marriage of art and functionality; each piece is carefully constructed and
hand painted, made to be used and enjoyed on a daily basis.
continues to
be a customer driven company, and each piece remains the sole creation of
designer and owner Lorrie Veasey. There seems to be no end to the "ball"
that this Cinderella story of a company is having, creating magical, unique
giftware that allow customers to live happily ever after.
