Know before you buy
Bone China is known for its excellent heat retention, but it also has a thinner profile than stoneware. If you are pouring boiling water directly into the mug, it may feel quite warm to the touch, so we recommend holding it by the upper rim or letting your tea cool slightly before handling.
No, this mug is neither dishwasher nor microwave safe. To preserve the delicate Bone China and the integrity of the Japanese leaf design, we recommend hand washing with mild soap.
Bone China is prized for being lightweight, translucent, and remarkably strong. This mug offers a refined, thin-walled drinking experience that feels much lighter in the hand than standard ceramic or stoneware mugs.
The 12 oz. capacity represents the total volume of the mug when filled to the brim. For a comfortable pour that leaves room for milk or prevents spills, we suggest filling it to about 10 or 11 ounces.
The design is applied to high-quality Bone China, but because it is not dishwasher safe, the pattern is susceptible to fading or scratching if subjected to harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbing pads. Gentle hand washing will keep the design vibrant for years.
