What does 'seconds' mean for Burleigh pottery?

Pieces classed as 'seconds' have minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect their functional use. These variations are purely superficial.

Where is this mug made?

Each Burleigh pottery piece, including this mug, is proudly handmade at Middleport Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, England.

How should I store my Burleigh mug?

Store your mug in a dry place. Avoid stacking multiple heavy items on top of it to prevent potential chipping or scratching.

What is the capacity of the mug?

The mug has a capacity of 284ml, which is suitable for a standard serving of tea or coffee.

Troubleshooting

Mug has a slight imperfection in glaze or pattern.

This is a normal characteristic of handmade pottery. Minor cosmetic variations are expected and do not affect the functionality or quality of the mug.

Color appears to fade over time.

This may occur with frequent dishwasher use or exposure to harsh detergents. Ensure you are hand washing and using mild soap only.

Mug feels less sturdy than expected.

Earthenware is robust but can be more prone to chipping than porcelain or stoneware if dropped or knocked. Handle with care and avoid stacking tightly.
