History is what a town did. Temperament is what it's still doing about it.
Tryon has both, but only one of them fits on a mug. This is a place that took a railroad town, filled it with artists, horse people, and people who moved here specifically to be left alone, and then asked all of them to share one traffic light. The result is stubborn, particular, occasionally magnificent, and entirely uninterested in being told what to do.
Twelve ounces of enamel with a silver rim — the kind of mug that belongs on a porch rail, a tailgate, or a trailhead more than a cabinet. It will outlast your patience and your opinions both.
Every purchase helps keep the lights on at the Tryon History Museum & Visitors Center.
• Enamel, 12 oz
• Height 3.14″ (8 cm), diameter 3.25″ (8.25 cm)
• Lead and BPA-free
• White coating with a silver rim
• Hand wash only
Attention! Don't heat liquids or food directly in the mug—it can damage the coating.
Disclaimer: The Enamel Mug is susceptible to staining when used with certain beverages, including coffee, tea, and natural juices. That’s a normal characteristic of enamel products and not specific to our mug alone. Due to the enamel’s rough and porous surface texture, particles from these drinks may easily adhere to the mug, resulting in stains over time. Stains can be effectively removed by applying lemon juice or soda to the affected area and gently scrubbing with a hard sponge.
