FAQs
Is the handle sturdy?
Yes, the handle is integrated into the ceramic molding process to ensure it is robust enough for daily use.
Will my mug look exactly like the product photo?
No, because each mug is hand-painted and hand-made, slight variations in color and shape are part of the unique appeal of the product.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Yes, this mug is dishwasher safe, though we recommend the top rack for long-term preservation of the painted finish.
What are the dimensions of the mug?
The mug measures approximately 9cm in height and 9cm in diameter, excluding the handle.
Is the material microwave safe?
Yes, standard ceramic construction allows this mug to be used in a microwave for reheating purposes.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface imperfections or color variations
These are expected characteristics of the hand-made, hand-painted process and are not considered manufacturing defects.
Mug feels too hot to hold near the handle
Ensure that your beverage temperature is slightly cooled before pouring, as ceramic retains high heat for longer periods than standard glassware.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this mug is ready for use right out of the box, no complex setup is required. For best results when caring for your hand-painted ceramic, avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads which could eventually dull the hand-painted exterior. While the product is dishwasher safe, placing it on the top rack of the dishwasher is recommended to avoid heavy impact with heavier plates or utensils that could chip the ceramic deer neck. If you notice any light staining from tea or coffee over time, a mild non-abrasive baking soda paste can be used to restore the finish.
