Know before you buy
No, the Niwaki Enamel Mug is made with a steel core and should not be placed in the microwave.
While the mug is technically dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing it to preserve the finish and longevity of the enamel coating.
Enamel is significantly more resilient than ceramic. It is much less prone to shattering if dropped, making it an excellent choice for outdoor use or busy households.
Yes, because the mug is made of steel with an enamel coating, it is not insulated. The surface will conduct heat, so please be careful when holding it with hot beverages.
Each Niwaki mug is hand-finished, which results in unique, subtle variations in the enamel. These character marks are a natural part of the manufacturing process and do not affect the quality of the mug.
