Product Information
Full details
The Hand Made Ceramic Mug - Seahorse is perfect for collectors and lovers of artisanal kitchenware who appreciate unique, character-driven design. Its key benefit is the distinctive sculpted seahorse handle that provides both a charming aesthetic and a functional grip. However, users should be aware that because each mug is individually hand-crafted and painted, the final appearance may vary slightly from piece to piece, meaning your specific mug will have its own artistic quirks.

FAQs
Are all seahorse mugs identical?
No. Because they are hand-made and hand-painted, every mug will feature slight variations in color and form.
Is the seahorse handle fragile?
While durable, the handle is a sculpted feature and should be handled with standard care, avoiding harsh impacts against hard surfaces.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Yes, this mug is dishwasher safe, though we recommend top-rack placement for extra safety.
What are the dimensions of the mug?
The mug is 9cm tall and 9cm in diameter, excluding the handle.
Is it safe for hot beverages?
Yes, it is designed for standard hot drinks like tea, coffee, and cocoa.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn tea stains inside the mug
Use a paste of baking soda and water to gently scrub the interior, then rinse thoroughly.
Handle feels loose or has a fine crack
Discontinue use immediately as structural integrity may be compromised; hand-crafted ceramic joins are delicate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This mug does not require a formal setup. Upon unboxing, it is recommended to wash the mug with warm soapy water to remove any residual dust from the manufacturing or transit process.
Care Instructions:
- Dishwasher: While dishwasher safe, placing it in the top rack is recommended to avoid collisions with heavier items that could chip the sculpted handle.
- Microwave: Ceramic is generally microwave safe, but avoid sudden thermal shock (e.g., moving from extreme cold to a hot microwave) to prevent cracking.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the handle for any hairline fractures, which can occasionally occur in hand-crafted ceramics over long-term use.
