FAQs

Is the mug microwave safe?

While the ceramic material is generally microwave resistant, hand-washing is highly recommended to preserve the integrity and vibrancy of the printed design.

Can I put the mug in the dishwasher?

It is recommended to hand-wash the mug to prevent the high heat and harsh chemicals of dishwasher detergents from affecting the printed finish.

What are the exact dimensions?

The mug measures 9 cm in height and 11.5 cm in diameter, providing a substantial capacity for your favorite beverages.

What material is the mug made of?

The mug is crafted from high-quality, durable ceramic.

Does the handle get hot?

The chunky ceramic construction helps insulate the heat inside the mug, but the handle is designed to remain easy to grip even when the contents are hot.

Where is the Tunnock's Teacake design inspired from?

The design celebrates the famous Scottish Tunnock's Teacake, which has been produced in Uddingston, Scotland, since 1956.

Troubleshooting

Staining on the interior base

Fill the mug with a mixture of warm water and a small amount of baking soda; let it soak for 30 minutes before gently scrubbing with a non-abrasive sponge.

Color appears dull or faded

Ensure you are avoiding harsh dishwasher cycles or abrasive scrubbers which can strip the protective finish; use only gentle, hand-wash detergents.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat retention due to thick ceramic walls
  • Sturdy and ergonomic shape comfortable for daily use
  • Vibrant, high-quality printing of the iconic design
  • Distinctive aesthetic makes it a great gift option

Cons

  • Hand-washing is recommended to protect the vibrant print
  • Chunky design may be heavier than standard thin-walled porcelain mugs
  • Larger size might not fit in all compact under-counter coffee machines

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Gillian Kyle mug stays in top condition, hand-washing with mild detergent and a soft cloth is recommended. While the ceramic is robust, abrasive scourers can dull the vibrant colors of the Tunnock's Teacake print over time. It is compatible with standard kitchen use, though users should avoid extreme temperature shocks, such as transferring the mug immediately from a freezing environment to boiling hot water. Ensure the mug is fully dry before stacking it in a cupboard to prevent moisture buildup near the base.
