Bear Mug

The Bear Mug from Black Oak Art brings fierce, bold, unmistakably Waco character into a handmade ceramic piece made for everyday use.

This handcrafted Bear Mug is a tribute to the spirit and strength of the local community, with a design that gives a subtle nod to the beloved bear mascot that’s part of Waco’s identity. Rather than feeling like a direct replica, it captures that familiar energy in a respectful, original way.

Each mug is wheel-thrown and hand-finished by our artisans, so no two pieces feel exactly the same. The sturdy form and comfortable handle make it easy to reach for during early mornings, late nights, or any favorite drink moment. Whether it’s chosen by a student, alum, fan, or proud Wacoan, The Bear Mug lets you show your spirit one sip at a time.
