Know before you buy
Because each mug is hand-painted, you should expect slight variations in the pattern. These unique differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that no two pieces are exactly alike.
Yes, the mug is dishwasher safe. However, to preserve the hand-glazed finish and the luster of the bronzed stainless steel rim over time, we recommend hand-washing.
The mug features a heavy-gauge steel core, giving it a substantial, durable feel in the hand. The loop handle is designed for a comfortable, secure grip, making it easy to hold even when the mug is filled to its 16 oz capacity.
The stainless steel rim is designed for durability and everyday use. While it provides a refined look, you should dry the mug thoroughly after washing to maintain the finish and prevent water spots.
The steel core is excellent at retaining heat, which helps keep your coffee or tea warmer for longer. Be mindful that the exterior may feel warm to the touch when filled with very hot liquids.
