Know before you buy
The heat-sensitive coating reacts best to hot beverages like coffee, tea, or cocoa. You will see the transformation begin almost immediately once the liquid is poured into the mug.
Yes, the mug features 18 different butterfly species. You can find both the common and Latin names for each butterfly printed discreetly on the bottom of the mug.
Due to the specialized heat-sensitive ink used for the transformation effect, we recommend hand washing only. Using a dishwasher or microwave may damage the reactive coating and shorten the lifespan of the design.
Yes, as the mug cools, the vibrant butterfly illustrations will gradually fade, and the original silhouettes will reappear. This cycle can be repeated every time you use the mug with hot liquid.
The mug is crafted from durable ceramic, providing a classic weight and feel suitable for daily use.
