Care & maintenance
Ceramic is forgiving, but thermal shock is not. Treat it gently and it lasts decades.
- Hand wash recommended: Warm water and mild soap. The glaze is durable, but dishwasher heat cycles can dull the vintage finish over time.
- Avoid sudden temperature shifts: Do not pour boiling water into a cold cup, or plunge a hot cup into cold water. Let the ceramic warm or cool gradually.
- Microwave safe: The glaze is microwave-compatible. Heat in 30-second intervals to avoid scorching the ceramic.
- Unglazed bottom: Small black specks on the unglazed base are natural firing marks, not defects. Wipe the base occasionally to keep it clean.
- Stack carefully: Place a cloth or paper towel between stacked cups to prevent glaze scratching.
Frequently asked
Why do the colors vary between cups?
Kiln-fired glaze reacts to heat placement, duration, and oxygen flow during firing. The vertical stripes shift in intensity, darker where heat lingers, lighter where it passes quickly.
Which color should I choose?
Bronze is warm and aged. Cement Gray is modern, industrial. Fish Belly White is soft and neutral. Lake Water Green is calm, organic. Quicksand Brown is earthy and grounded.
Is the unglazed bottom a problem?
No, it is intentional. The unglazed ceramic grips the saucer and table naturally, reducing slippage. Small black firing marks on the base are normal and harmless.
Can I use it for tea?
Yes. The 8 oz capacity suits both coffee and tea. The glaze is food-grade and does not absorb flavors or stains easily.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Technically, yes. Practically, hand washing preserves the vintage glaze finish longer. Dishwasher heat cycles can dull the patina over repeated washes.
