FAQs
Is the mug microwave safe?
While the ceramic is durable, please exercise caution as hand-painted items may react differently to extreme heat; we recommend avoiding high-power microwave settings.
How do I ensure I get the exact mug in the picture?
Because each mug is hand-made and hand-painted, you will receive a unique piece that shares the same elephant design but may vary slightly in artistic detail.
What are the exact dimensions?
The mug measures 9cm in height and 9cm in diameter, excluding the handle portion.
Can I use this for hot liquids?
Yes, this ceramic mug is designed for standard hot beverages like coffee, tea, or cocoa.
Is the finish prone to chipping?
As with any hand-crafted ceramic, it should be handled with care to avoid impacts against hard surfaces or other dishes.
Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your mug in top condition, rinse it thoroughly before its first use. While the piece is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended if you wish to preserve the vibrancy of the hand-painted details over many years. When placing it in the dishwasher, ensure it is positioned securely to prevent collision with other ceramics. This mug is compatible with most standard beverage machines and fits well on standard coasters. Please check the 9cm diameter to ensure it fits underneath your specific espresso or coffee machine's dispensing head before use.
