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 Vestige Kiln-Shift color looks most like aged metal?
Bronze, warm and aged. Cement Gray looks modern and industrial, Fish Belly White soft, Lake Water Green calm, and Quicksand Brown earthy.
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.
Why does the Vestige Kiln-Shift cup have such a long handle?
The wide-angle ceramic handle is 11.9 cm long, which leaves room for your fingers on a short, wide cup: 6.9 cm tall and 9.4 cm across.
How do I stack Vestige cups without scratching the glaze?
Put a cloth or paper towel between them. The kiln-fired vintage glaze also lasts longest with hand washing, since dishwasher heat cycles can dull it over time.
How big is the Vestige cup's matching saucer?
15.5 cm across, in the same glaze as the cup. The cup's unglazed base grips the saucer so it doesn't slide.
Is 240 ml the right size for a cappuccino?
Yes. 250 ml holds a cappuccino with its foam, or a regular cup of drip or pour-over coffee.
Is it microwave safe?
Yes. Heat in 30-second steps, and avoid sudden temperature changes, like boiling water into a cold cup.
Can I get a coffee cup with a saucer?
Yes. The Vestige Kiln-Shift Mug is a 250 ml cup with matching saucer in five kiln-fired tones. The Orb Ceramic Mug is a 330 ml porcelain cup with a wooden ball handle and a saucer, gift-boxed, in matte black or glossy white.
Do you have ceramic coffee mugs that look artisanal?
Yes. The Vestige Kiln-Shift Mug is a 240 ml cup and saucer with a kiln-fired glaze that shifts in the firing, in five earth tones. The Kintsugi Marbled Mug (210 ml) has a marbled glaze and an unglazed base, each one slightly different. The Atelier Fluted Mug has a reactive blue glaze. See all coffee mugs.
