Know before you buy

No, this mug is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the reactive glaze finish.
Deep Etch is a permanent decoration process where your design is physically carved into the surface of the ceramic. This creates a tactile, high-quality finish that is more durable than standard screen printing.
The mug features an ergonomic handle specifically designed to provide a secure and comfortable grip, making it well-suited for regular use at home or in the office.
No, the Dodsworth Mug does not include a lid and is not insulated. It is designed as a traditional ceramic mug for standard beverage consumption.
