FAQs
What is the capacity of the cup?
The cup has a capacity of 230ml.
What material is the set made from?
The set is crafted from premium stoneware.
Is the reactive glaze finish consistent across all sets?
No, the reactive glaze process ensures that each piece has a unique pattern and color variation, making every set one-of-a-kind.
Can I put this set in the dishwasher?
While stoneware is often dishwasher safe, hand washing with mild detergent is recommended to best preserve the unique reactive glaze finish and longevity of the product.
Is the cup microwave safe?
It is advisable to check the specific product labeling or manufacturer's instructions. Some reactive glazes may not be microwave safe due to metallic elements.
What does 'ombre design' mean in this context?
Ombre refers to a gradual blending of colors, creating a gradient effect. Combined with speckles, it gives a sophisticated, textured appearance.
Does the set come with multiple cups?
This is a 2-piece set which includes one cup and one matching saucer.
Troubleshooting
Cup or saucer has a small chip.
Inspect the chip for sharpness. If minor, it may still be usable with care. For significant chips, it is recommended to discontinue use to avoid injury.
Glaze appears to be fading or losing its sheen.
This may be due to harsh detergents or abrasive cleaning. Try washing by hand with a mild soap and soft cloth. Ensure no dishwasher residue is present.
Noticeable variation in color or pattern from product images.
This is an expected characteristic of reactive glazes, which produce unique, one-of-a-kind finishes. Embrace the individuality of your piece.

Compatibility:
- Beverages: Suitable for coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and other hot or cold beverages.
- Microwave: *Check specific product details.* Reactive glazes can sometimes contain metallic elements that are not microwave-safe. If unsure, avoid microwaving.

Care:
