Selection & Fit Guide
When selecting mugs, consider how they will be used most often. Coffee mugs typically feature moderate capacity for daily brews, while latte mugs offer a wider shape to accommodate milk-based drinks. Tea mugs may emphasize handle comfort and heat retention. Choosing consistent finishes or shapes can create a cohesive look, while mixing complementary styles adds visual interest to open shelving or table settings.
Usage & Care Notes
Mugs should be handled with care to preserve finishes and glazing. Many ceramic and stoneware mugs are suitable for regular washing, though gentle handling helps extend longevity. Allow mugs to cool before rinsing to avoid thermal shock. Storing mugs upright on shelves or in cabinets helps prevent chipping and keeps handles protected during everyday use.

Let customers speak for us
Sturdy and easy to put together, and I use the remote a lot more than I expected - basically all the time. I have an eclectic MSM, and this lamp fits in beautifully.
We absolutely adore the tissue box cover we purchased from Midcentury Modern Gal. It brings joy to our home~ it is more than worth the cost. The product is high quality and exactly as pictured on the website. They sent a box of uline tissues with it. It became clear to us why b/c other brands of facial tissue tend to be too large/high for the box cover. We’ll have to use uline tissues going forward, and these are rougher than we’d like. We will manage, though, since the design is so much fun. We will continue ordering from MMG!!
I love my Christmas purse and have received numerous compliments on it.
Well crafted, easy to put together and it looks good.
I love the design of this floor lamp.
The shade has a beautiful pattern. The colors are gorgeous with the lamp on or off. I love the remote control & smart bulb. They make operating the lamp very easy.
Looks great in my living room.
I definitely recommend this floor lamp.
I placed 1 seat cover on the X1/9 seat 💺, it fit well. The seat cover are nylon spun plastic, the coloring is excellent. My problem is that the fabric although well made is not backed and blocked with 1/4" of foam. Car seats are often contoured, as such just stretching a fabric cover over them leaved the new seat cover billowy, it does not conform to the seat. At the car show where I tested it out with the judges...they said it cheapened the car as it was not an upholstered application. I think i will remove them and bring them to a seamstress to sew some blocking foam so the better conform to my seats. Now don't read this wrong, they are very nice and a value...just billowy as they are thin fabric covers.
I love the lamp. It’s just what I wanted and just as pictured. However, for the price point I did not expect to have to assemble the shade.
Great design for a compact, yet stylish lamp to enhance and brighten this corner space! Plus love the remote for easy control and ease of assembly.
This shower curtain delivered just the visual upgrade I was looking for! The quality is great and size was perfect.
Exactly as pictured and adds pops of color to room!
I have been collecting vintage items for a few years now and find myself drawn more and more to the mid-century modern era. I recently moved and need to do more work from home so when I created the space, I was looking for a touch of MCM. The items I purchased (pillow and lamp) created the look I wanted to achieve. I can't wait to purchase additional items to transform other areas in my home.
This lamp is the perfect finishing touch to my mid-century bedroom. Just love it. Quality is excellent!
I looked for months to find exactly the right reading lamp to go with my new reading chair.
It was important to me that it was an arc and absolutely HAD to be dimmable. The search took months until I stumbled across MidCentury Modern Gal’s line of arc lamps. SCORE!
I love my lamp. The size is perfect. It’s dimmable (with a remote control - bonus!). And the shade is the perfect way to reflect my taste.
I usually look forward to autumn because it's my favorite time of year but this year it's because of my new shower curtain! This is the second of three shower curtains that I have bought because I couldn't make a decision so I broke it down seasonally. My previous one was for spring/summer, This one is for fall, and the next one will be for winter. Everyone who has seen these shower curtains rave about them! No it doesn't come with hooks and yes it needs a liner.
I’m so happy I didn’t talk myself out of purchasing this! It really is like my living room was missing something and this lamp was it.
