FAQs
Is this mug dishwasher safe?

Can I put this mug in the microwave?

What is the best way to store these mugs?
Store them in a protected cupboard, ideally not stacked too high, to avoid chipping the thin rims.
Are these suitable for everyday use?
Yes, they are designed for regular use, provided they are hand-washed and handled with the care required for fine china.
Troubleshooting
Visible spots on the surface after washing
Dry the mug immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth after washing to prevent water spots from minerals in the tap water.
Gold trim starting to look dull
Avoid using harsh detergents or putting the mug in a dishwasher. Only use a soft sponge and mild soap.
Small chip on the rim
Fine bone china is delicate; unfortunately, there is no way to repair a chip, so handle with extra care to prevent impact with harder surfaces like granite or stone counters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a fine bone china product, proper care is essential. Setup is straightforward; simply rinse the mug with warm water before its first use. For daily care, hand-washing with mild detergent and a soft cloth is highly recommended to maintain the integrity of the patterns and the gold rim. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as these will scratch the surface and strip the gold. Due to the fine bone china construction, the mug is not dishwasher safe, and the presence of gold trim makes it strictly non-microwavable. When storing, place the mugs in a secure cupboard, ideally using a liner or felt separators if stacking to prevent chipping.
