This is one of several Apple-logo products that was available at “The Company Store @ Apple” located in the Infinite Loop Campus (in the 1 Infinite Loop building). When Apple began moving to the Main (“spaceship”) Campus at Apple Park, a new Visitor Center was built near the new campus and The Company Store was closed and replaced by more standard Apple Store.
This matte black mug features a glossy black Apple logo and a glossy black interior. It has a primarily cylindrical shape with a rounded bottom.
I also have a mug in my collection with the same design—except it has a glossy white interior.
This white mug features a blue (blueberry) Apple logo on one side.
This classic glossy porcelain white mug features the original six-color logo and, more prominently, the Apple logotype in Apple Garamond that wraps around the entire mug. Apple Garamond was Apple’s corporate font from 1984–2003.
This product is featured on page 56 of the Spring 1993 Starting Line: Apple Marketing Communications Catalog. Its description reads:

This mug was purchased at the Apple Store on the Infinite Loop campus. Apple Store employees indicate that each mug is slightly different, and they are made with a specific firing process by artisans in the historic town of Hasami in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan.
The squarish handle is an element stylistic of other Hasami porcelain mugs. According to the website: “Hasami began crafting its porcelainware almost 400 years ago during the Edo period, distributing them throughout Japan as well as to Europe through the port of Nagasaki.”
In addition, “HASAMI PORCELAIN was designed by Takuhiro Shinomoto of Tortoise in Venice, CA whose vision was to integrate modern tableware design with the organic quality produced by traditional Japanese manufacturing techniques.”
