"A really unique shop in the historic district of Winchester, KY ... The pottery offerings are wonderful and prices are reasonable. Definitely worth a visit!!"
5-Star Google Review from David K.
Straight from the heart of Bourbon Country, we present to you a mug for all situations. Lighten up the mood at work or home by using your 'this might be bourbon' mug on a rough day. On a rougher day, you can actually put some bourbon in it. We're not here to judge, it's your mug.
As of August 2016, "this might be bourbon" is a registered trademark of Dirty South Pottery, with the United States Patent & Trademark Office.
Created by Carvel & Ashley Norman, Dirty South Pottery is a husband-and-wife owned and operated pottery studio located in the historic downtown of Winchester, KY.
In our online & brick-and-mortar shop, you'll find our collections of pottery alongside a curated selection of goods made by American-based small companies.
