Product Information
Full details
The History and Heraldry Plant Pot Inspired Mug (Mark) is designed for plant enthusiasts and those who appreciate rustic, garden-themed kitchenware. It offers a unique, aesthetic appeal by mimicking the look of a traditional terracotta pot, making it a perfect gift or personal addition to any cozy home environment. While it provides a delightful visual experience, users should note that its heavy-duty stoneware construction makes it significantly weightier than standard ceramic mugs.

FAQs
Is the mug safe for oven use?
No, while the mug is microwave safe, it is not designed to withstand the high temperatures of a conventional oven.
What is the exact capacity of the mug?
The mug has a 350ml capacity, which is ideal for standard coffee and tea servings.
Will the 'Mark' name fade in the dishwasher?
No, the design is integrated into the manufacturing process to ensure it remains durable through regular dishwasher cycles.
Can I put this in the freezer?
It is not recommended to move the stoneware directly from the freezer to a hot microwave as it may cause cracking due to thermal shock.
Is the handle comfortable to hold?
The handle is designed for a standard grip, balanced to offset the weight of the dense stoneware construction.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn tea or coffee stains inside
Apply a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for ten minutes, then gently scrub with a soft cloth before rinsing.
Mug feels too hot to touch after microwave use
Reduce the microwave power level to 70% or shorten the heating duration, as stoneware retains heat more aggressively than thin ceramic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required; the mug is ready for use immediately after a quick wash. While the mug is dishwasher safe, we recommend placing it on the top rack to ensure the longevity of the rustic glaze finish. If you are using it in the microwave, ensure that the duration of heating does not exceed three minutes to prevent extreme thermal shock to the stoneware. For cleaning by hand, use a soft sponge and mild dish detergent; avoid harsh abrasive scrubbers that could dull the textured appearance of the exterior finish.
