MAZAMA PORTLAND {PORTLAnD} According to Meghan Wright, the Partner and Director of Mazama, “Portlanders are serious about their beverages.” From coffee and tea to craft beer, wine and cocktails, if there is a city passionate about beverages, Portland is it. Keeping in line with the local pastime and motivated to create a full time job out of containing the beverages they love, the Mazama team created a series of stoneware vessels that they brought to Kickstarter in the fall of 2013.

Mazama is named after Mount Mazama, a volcano that created Crater Lake long, long ago. We thought it made sense for us. Crater Lake is nature's ultimate vessel. It is filled with the most perfect blue water and was created from the earth and fire of Mount Mazama's explosion- a quality that speaks well to the elements that go into making ceramics. Our stylized "M" logo reflects the volcano of Mt Mazama. The top of the volcano, is inverted to represent the crater created by the volcano, exploding and transforming itself into the ultimate vessel.
