FAQs
Is this mug microwave safe?

What are the exact dimensions?
The mug measures approximately 9cm in height and 9cm in diameter, excluding the handle.
Will my mug look exactly like the one in the photo?
No. Because each mug is hand-made and hand-painted, your piece will have unique variations that make it one-of-a-kind.
Is the penguin handle fragile?
The handle is crafted from sturdy ceramic, but like all ceramic drinkware, it should be handled with care to avoid impacts against hard surfaces.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Yes, this mug is dishwasher safe, making it convenient for regular daily use.
What is the capacity of the mug?
The mug is designed for standard beverage portions based on its 9cm x 9cm dimensions.
Troubleshooting
Mug shows minor variations in paint compared to the product image.
These variations are a standard characteristic of the hand-made, hand-painted process and are not considered a defect.
Difficulty cleaning inside the narrow neck or handle crevices.
Use a soft bottle brush or a sponge specifically designed for narrow drinkware to reach inside the handle and base area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for this product; simply wash before the first use. To ensure the longevity of the hand-painted design and ceramic body, avoid using harsh abrasive sponges that could scratch the finish. While the mug is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended if you wish to preserve the vibrancy of the hand-painted details over many years. When placing in a dishwasher, position the mug securely on the top rack to avoid contact with other heavy dishes that could chip the ceramic handle.
