Know before you buy
No, the illustration is fired onto the stoneware, ensuring it remains durable and resistant to fading even with regular dishwasher use.
The mug has a 16 oz capacity, which is generous enough for a large coffee or tea while still leaving enough room at the top to prevent spills.
Stoneware is naturally denser and more durable than porcelain, so this mug has a sturdy, substantial feel in the hand rather than a delicate, lightweight one.
Yes, the mug is fully microwave safe, making it convenient for reheating your beverage if it cools down.
The stoneware is crafted in Portugal, and the detailed Carolina Wren illustration is applied by hand in Laura Zindel's Vermont studio.
