Know before you buy
Yes, the mug is designed for daily use and is both dishwasher and microwave safe. However, as with all handcrafted ceramics, we recommend avoiding extreme temperature shocks to maintain the integrity of the glaze.
Because each mug is hand-formed, trimmed, and glazed, there will be subtle variations in the finish and texture. These unique characteristics are intentional and part of the charm of the California clay process.
The Studio Mug measures 3¼" in height and diameter, holding approximately 8 to 10 ounces of liquid. It is sized for a standard cup of coffee or tea.
At 0.75 lbs, the mug has a substantial, weighted feel that reflects the density of the natural California clay. It is designed to feel sturdy and balanced in the hand.
The 1-year warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship under normal use. It does not cover accidental breakage, chips, or damage resulting from improper handling.
