Product Information
Full details
The On Trade Winds Trout Ceramic Mug is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate artisanal craftsmanship in their kitchenware. Its key benefit is the unique, sculpted handle that combines functional ergonomics with a striking hand-painted trout design, making every cup a conversation piece. A notable caveat is that since each mug is hand-made and hand-painted, subtle variations in color and form are expected, meaning the item you receive will differ slightly from promotional photography.

FAQs
Is the mug microwave safe?
While the ceramic material is high quality, we recommend microwave use only for short durations to preserve the longevity of the hand-painted finish.
Are the dimensions exact?
As the mugs are hand-made, the 9cm measurements are approximate and may vary slightly between pieces.
Will my mug look exactly like the one in the picture?
No. Due to the hand-painted and hand-made nature of this product, every trout mug is a unique piece of art with slight variations in paint application.
Can I use this for cold drinks?
Yes, the ceramic construction is excellent for both hot and cold beverages.
Is the handle sturdy?
Yes, the handle is integrated into the ceramic body during the firing process, ensuring structural durability for daily use.
Where is this product made?
On Trade Winds products are designed with artisanal care; specific regional production information is available on the product packaging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a ceramic piece, no formal setup is required. For the best longevity, although the item is labeled as dishwasher safe, placing it on the top rack can help protect the integrity of the hand-painted finish over time. Avoid using abrasive scrubbing sponges, as these can dull the glaze or affect the painted trout details. Ensure the mug is at room temperature before pouring boiling water into it to avoid thermal shock, which can affect all ceramics. The mug is compatible with all standard dishwashers and microwave use, though standard care for hand-painted ceramics is always recommended.
