More Information

A pattern with a thousand years of history. The Mimbreno designs are drawn from the pottery of the ancient Mimbres people, who lived in the river valleys of southwestern New Mexico from roughly 1000 to 1130 CE. Their black-on-white ceramic art is among the most celebrated in the prehistoric American Southwest.
Designed by Mary Colter for the Fred Harvey Company. In 1937, architect and designer Mary Colter commissioned the Mimbreno pattern for the dining cars of the Santa Fe Railway's Super Chief, the luxury passenger train between Chicago and Los Angeles. The pattern ran on that train for 34 years.
The black and white colorway. HF Coors introduced this colorway as a contemporary expression of the Mimbres graphic tradition. Bold, high-contrast, and graphic, it brings the ancient designs into a modern visual register while staying true to the original motifs.
Handcrafted in Tucson, Arizona. HF Coors is the authorized manufacturer of Mimbreno reproductions. Every piece is made in Tucson from American clay by craftspeople who have been doing this since 1925. Start to finish, in the USA.
Restaurant-grade durability. Vitrified ceramic construction resists chips, fading, and staining. Lead-free, dishwasher safe, microwave safe, oven and broiler safe, and freezer safe.

The Mimbreno lizard mug in black and white is a 15-ounce ceramic mug that carries one of the most significant design traditions in American history. The lizard motif reflects the Mimbres people's close observation of the desert environment around them. Rendered in the bold, flat graphic style of Mimbres ceramic art, the lizard is depicted with the elongated body and spread limbs that make it immediately recognizable. At 15 ounces, the mug gives the motif full room to read. The black and white colorway gives the ancient design maximum graphic contrast. Vitrified ceramic, restaurant-grade, handcrafted in Tucson by HF Coors, the authorized manufacturer of Mimbreno reproductions.

Carefully crafted, kiln-fired, and artisan crafted at our Tucson, Arizona facility.
