Know before you buy
The exterior features a biscuit finish that mimics hand-carved plaster, giving it a tactile, matte quality. While it has a distinct texture, it is refined and comfortable to hold.
The mug is designed with a cylindrical shape that fits naturally in the palm. Because it is stoneware, it will retain heat, so we recommend holding it by the upper rim if your beverage is piping hot.
Yes, the mug is both microwave and dishwasher safe. The glazed interior ensures that it remains easy to clean, even with daily use for coffee or tea.
With dimensions of 3 inches in height and 3.5 inches in diameter, this mug is sized for a standard serving of coffee or tea, typically holding around 8 to 10 ounces.
The exterior is unglazed, so it is more porous than the interior. While the glazed interior is designed to prevent staining from coffee or tea, we recommend wiping the exterior clean if it comes into contact with liquids or oils.
