Know before you buy
No, this mug is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted design and porcelain construction, we recommend hand washing only to preserve the artwork.
The Occhi Mug is designed as a handleless vessel, similar to a traditional tea cup. Its compact dimensions make it easy to hold, though it lacks a side handle.
The mug measures 2.5 inches in width and 3.5 inches in height. It is a compact, elegant size perfect for espresso or small servings of tea.
While it is crafted from durable 100% porcelain and designed for everyday use, its status as a Fornasetti collector's item means many owners choose to display it as a piece of art. It functions perfectly for both purposes.
No, the Occhi Mug is a standard porcelain vessel without a lid or integrated insulation. It is designed for immediate enjoyment of your beverage rather than long-term temperature retention.
