Know before you buy
No, this mug is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate nature of the commemorative decal, we recommend hand washing it to preserve the design.
This design was released in 2000 as a special collaboration with the American Museum of Natural History to celebrate the opening of the Rose Center for Earth and Space.
The ring handle is a signature Fiesta design element that offers a distinct aesthetic and a unique grip. It provides a secure hold, though it feels different than a traditional D-shaped mug handle.
While it is crafted from the same durable ceramic as other Fiesta products, this is a collectible commemorative piece from the P86 line. It is intended more for display or occasional use rather than as a daily-use kitchen staple.
Yes, the Chartreuse glaze is a classic, vibrant Fiesta color. However, because this is a vintage-era collectible, there may be slight variations in the glaze finish compared to current production runs.
