Know before you buy
Because each mug is individually wood-fired, there will be natural variations in the glaze and finish. You can expect a unique piece that shares the same general aesthetic as the one pictured, but with its own distinct character.
No, this mug is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand washing it gently to preserve the integrity of the wood-fired ceramic finish.
At 2.5 inches tall with a 3-inch rim, this is a compact, short mug. It is best suited for a standard espresso, a small pour-over, or a short tea service rather than a large 12-ounce coffee.
Yes, the tapered design is specifically crafted for ergonomics. It fits naturally in the hand, providing a secure grip despite the lack of a traditional handle.
