FAQs
Is every mug exactly the same?
No. Due to the hand-painted nature of the design, no two mugs are identical, making yours unique.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Yes, this mug is dishwasher safe.
What are the dimensions of the mug?
The mug measures approximately 9cm in height and 9cm in diameter, excluding the handle.
Is the handle easy to hold?
The handle is shaped like the mallard's neck, which provides a distinct grip that most users find comfortable for regular use.
Is this safe for microwave use?
While it is dishwasher safe, we recommend checking the base of your specific unit for any additional microwave safety icons before heating.
Troubleshooting
Dishwasher residue on paint
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and place the mug in the top rack to avoid direct contact with high-pressure jets.
Handle feels slippery

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This mug does not require any specific setup; it is ready to use immediately upon arrival. It is fully compatible with standard dishwasher settings. To ensure the longevity of the hand-painted finish, it is recommended to place the mug in the top rack of the dishwasher and avoid harsh abrasive scrubbers. While the mug is heat-resistant, standard care should be taken to avoid thermal shock, such as moving it directly from a freezing environment to boiling water.
