Know before you buy
No, the mug features hand-gilded gold detailing, which makes it unsuitable for microwave use. We recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the gold finish.
While the mug measures 84mm in height and 76mm in diameter, it is designed as a standard-sized teacup rather than a large coffee mug. It holds a comfortable serving size typical of fine English bone china pieces.
Due to the delicate nature of fine English bone china and the hand-applied gold gilding, this mug should be hand washed only. Avoid using abrasive sponges to ensure the checkerboard pattern and gold rim remain pristine.
Fine bone china is prized for being significantly thinner, lighter, and more translucent than standard ceramic or stoneware. Despite its delicate appearance, it is remarkably durable and provides a refined, elegant mouthfeel while drinking.
The mug has a total width of 110mm including the handle, which is proportioned to fit comfortably in the hand. The handle is designed with the classic ergonomics typical of traditional English teaware.
