Know before you buy
No, this mug is not microwave or dishwasher safe. Due to the metallic gold design and matte finish, we recommend hand washing it to preserve the artwork.
The mug has a 12-ounce capacity, which is a standard size for a daily cup of coffee or tea.
The exposed base provides a textural contrast to the smooth matte glaze, but it is finished to be smooth enough for comfortable handling without scratching surfaces.
No, this is a standard stoneware mug and does not feature vacuum insulation. It is designed for immediate enjoyment of your beverage rather than long-term temperature retention.
The mug stands 4.25 inches tall with a diameter of 3.25 inches, making it a standard cylindrical shape that fits well in most hands.
