Whether you are a hobbit, dwarf, man, or even an elf, it is likely that you enjoy a fine brew everyone once in a while. Be it beer, coffee, or tea, every resident of Middle-earth needs a trusty mug to fill with their favorite drink. In our daily lives, it is easy to get caught up with the hustle and bustle of the world. However, a few sips from the right mug can transport your mind right to the Green Dragon.

Functional Mud is an Etsy store that specializes in usable stoneware pottery with many of the pieces for sale drawing inspiration directly from Middle-earth. There is something to strike everyone’s fancy here, from mugs with the insignias of various taverns around Middle-earth to “Shire Cups” that look like they leapt straight out of Bilbo Baggins’ cupboard. There are even items for the Elves at heart: a platter shaped like a mallorn leaf. It is the perfect way to eat your “green food”!
