Know before you buy
No, this mug is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the artisanal soda-fired finish and stoneware construction, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the glaze and material.
Soda-firing creates a unique, reactive surface where the soda vapor interacts with the clay body during the firing process. This results in a one-of-a-kind finish that offers a distinct, tactile texture and subtle variations in color that you won't find on mass-produced ceramics.
While the mug measures 5.25 x 4.25 x 3.75 inches, it is designed for standard daily beverage portions. Its dimensions are crafted to provide a comfortable grip and a balanced weight for everyday use.
The Oestreich2139 mug is sold as an individual piece. Because each item is handcrafted by Jeff Oestreich, every mug is unique, making it a standalone addition to your collection rather than part of a uniform set.
This mug is made from traditional stoneware and does not feature specialized insulation. Like most handcrafted ceramic mugs, it will retain heat well initially, but it is not designed to function as a vacuum-insulated travel vessel.
