Full details
The B&Q Black Cat ceramic mug is an ideal choice for cat enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate artisan-style kitchenware. Its key benefit lies in its charming, hand-painted design that integrates the cat's neck into the handle for a comfortable grip. However, potential buyers should note that because each mug is hand-made, subtle variations in appearance are expected, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly identical.

Yes, the handle is designed to be ergonomic, though the grip style may feel different from a standard straight handle due to the cat-neck design.
Can I use this mug in the microwave?
While the product is dishwasher safe, please use caution with microwave use as the ceramic thickness can vary slightly in hand-made items.
Are the mugs identical to the photos?
Due to the hand-made and hand-painted nature of the mug, each piece is unique and may feature slight variations in paint application or shape.
What are the exact dimensions?
The mug measures approximately 9cm in height and 9cm in diameter, excluding the handle.
How should I clean the mug if I don't have a dishwasher?
You can easily hand wash it using mild dish soap and a soft cloth to protect the painted details.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Black Cat mug remains in top condition, handle it with care to avoid chipping the delicate hand-painted finish. While the item is dishwasher safe, it is advisable to place it in a secure spot in the top rack of the dishwasher to prevent movement during the wash cycle. Before purchasing, verify that the 9cm by 9cm dimensions align with your preferred serving size. Store in a stable cabinet and avoid contact with harsh abrasive cleaning pads that could potentially scuff the painted surface.
