Full details
The On Trade Winds Giraffe Mug is an ideal choice for animal lovers and collectors who appreciate artisanal, hand-crafted drinkware.

FAQs

The mug measures approximately 9cm in height and 9cm in diameter, not including the handle.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Yes, it is dishwasher safe, though we recommend top-rack placement to ensure longevity.
Is the handle easy to hold?

Troubleshooting
Discoloration or fading after many washes
Switch to hand washing with mild detergent to preserve the hand-painted exterior.
Residue buildup in hard-to-reach areas around the handle
Use a soft-bristled bottle brush to gently clean the gaps between the giraffe neck and the mug body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No special setup is required; simply wash the mug before its first use to remove any dust from packaging. While the mug is dishwasher safe, placing it on the top rack is recommended to protect the integrity of the hand-painted details over time. Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads, as these may scratch the paint finish. Ensure the mug is stored in a secure location, as the sculptural handle is a focal point and could be susceptible to impact if dropped.
