The mug in the linked photos was purchased from a pop-up shop in Duluth, MN ca. 2018. It bears the maker’s mark “b π“. I recall this being a playful take on the maker’s name. I have recently cracked the mug and would like to replace it with something from the same maker. Photos here: google photos link
Other information that might be useful:
It’s a very lightweight material, lighter than most mugs.
The pop-up shop was in an old tow-behind camper. It later converted to a fixed location next to Bailey Builds in Denfeld. It carried only locally made goods. I don’t believe it exists any more; if it does then it’s called North and Shore now and was a dead end for me.
I don’t think it’s Burdock Pottery but I could be convinced I’m wrong. I couldn’t find a photo of their maker’s mark, but the style doesn’t match anything they have on offer.

Best answer: Burdock Ceramics' Etsy store has photos of their maker's mark and it looks like it's changed slightly, but otherwise matches what you have.

Best answer: And yes, Makers Mercantile had a mobile store in a vintage camper, then opened a storefront next to Bailey Builds, then moved and rebranded as North & Shore. They still carry Burdock Ceramics.
