Know before you buy
Due to the delicate hand-gilded gold detailing, this mug should be hand-washed only. Using a dishwasher may cause the gold finish to fade or wear away over time.
No, this mug is not microwave-safe. The gold gilding contains metallic elements that will spark and damage the piece if placed in a microwave.
The mug is crafted from fine English bone china, which is renowned for its high level of whiteness, translucency, and exceptional strength despite its lightweight appearance.
The design features the quote prominently on the front, making it a focal point of the piece. It is intended as a commemorative display item as much as a functional mug.
To keep the gold gilding in pristine condition, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents. Simply wash it gently with warm, soapy water and dry with a soft cloth.
