Troubleshooting
Mug has minor imperfections in glaze or shape.
This is a characteristic of the artisanal, hand-enamelled process and not a defect. Each piece is unique.

While the earthenware offers some insulation, for prolonged heat retention, consider pre-warming the mug with hot water before use or using a mug warmer.
