Care & maintenance
High-fired ceramic is forgiving, but gentle care extends the glaze's life.
- Dishwasher safe: Top rack preferred. The bottom rack's heat and detergent are harsher on reactive glazes over time.
- Microwave safe: The ceramic body tolerates microwaves well. Let it cool before handling, the glaze retains heat.
- Hand wash for longevity: Warm water and a soft sponge preserve the glossy finish better than machine cycles.
- Crazing is normal: Fine hairline cracks in the glaze develop over time. This is a natural feature of reactive glazes, not a defect.
Frequently asked
What is a reactive glaze?
A reactive glaze changes color and pattern during firing based on kiln temperature, airflow, and mineral content. Each mug comes out slightly different, no two are identical.
Which color should I pick?
Blue is calm and deep, with gray-blue undertones. Brown is warm and earthy, shifting between caramel and cocoa. Black is matte-adjacent, with subtle gloss variation in the grooves. All three are modern classics.
Is it safe for hot liquids?
Yes. The ceramic is high-fired and fully vitrified, it tolerates boiling water, espresso, tea. The handle stays cool enough to grip comfortably.
Does the texture make it hard to clean?
No. The fluted ribs are smooth and glazed, not raw ceramic. A rinse or a quick scrub with a sponge clears coffee or tea residue without fuss.
Can I stack them?
The stacked base design helps, but the straight handle limits vertical stacking. Nest them side by side in the cabinet to save space and protect the glaze.
