Full details
The On Trade Winds Hand Made Ceramic Mug with a horse-themed handle is designed for collectors and individuals who appreciate artisan craftsmanship in their daily kitchenware. Its primary benefit is the unique, hand-painted aesthetic that serves as both a functional drinking vessel and a display-worthy art piece. Prospective buyers should note that due to the artisanal nature of the product, there are minor variations between individual units, and the handle design requires specific handling compared to standard ergonomic mugs.

FAQs
Is the handle sturdy?
Yes, the handle is made from the same durable ceramic as the mug body and is designed for normal daily use.
Can I use this in the microwave?
While the mug is dishwasher safe, please refer to typical ceramic care guidelines; avoid thermal shock by not moving it directly from a cold environment to a hot microwave.
Are the dimensions exact?
As these are hand-made items, the 9cm height and 9cm diameter are approximate and may vary slightly.
Is the paint likely to fade?
The hand-painted finish is glazed for protection, but we recommend avoiding abrasive cleaning materials to preserve the vibrancy.
Will my mug look exactly like the product photo?
No, each mug is hand-painted and unique, meaning your specific mug will feature subtle differences in the horse's painted details.
Troubleshooting
Handle feels uncomfortable to hold
Adjust your grip to place fingers against the side of the handle rather than inside the opening to improve stability.
Minor variations in paint between my mug and online photos
This is a normal characteristic of the hand-painted process; every piece is unique.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your mug in top condition, ensure that you place it securely in the dishwasher rack so the decorative handle does not impact other items. While the glaze is dishwasher safe, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads, which could eventually dull the hand-painted detailing. Before purchasing, verify that the 9cm by 9cm footprint fits your specific cup warmer or storage shelf space. If you notice any hairline cracks over time, discontinue use as a drinking vessel and repurpose it as a desk organizer or pen holder.
