Care & maintenance
Ceramic is forgiving, but handmade ceramic shows its history. Treat it gently.
- Hand wash: Warm water, soft sponge, mild soap. The marbled glaze can dull in a dishwasher over time, and the unglazed base can stain from detergent residue.
- Microwave with care: The ceramic heats quickly. Use a cloth or towel when removing, the mug gets hot faster than the coffee inside.
- Staining: Unglazed ceramic absorbs tannins from coffee and tea. A light stain is normal and part of the patina. For deep cleaning, soak in a paste of baking soda and water for 15 minutes, then scrub gently.
- Avoid thermal shock: Do not pour boiling water into a cold mug straight from the fridge. Preheat with warm water first, or let the mug come to room temperature.
Frequently asked
Is the 210 ml Kintsugi Marbled Mug made for short coffee drinks?
Yes. Its 210 ml fits a cappuccino or a short Americano. It is 8 cm tall and slightly wider at the 7.5 cm rim than at the base.
Which glaze should I pick?
Off-white with brown swirls is neutral and warm, works with any counter or table. Pale green is subtle and calm, pairs well with wood. Terracotta is earthy and bold, makes a statement on a light shelf.
What does "handmade" mean here?
Each mug is wheel-thrown by hand, not molded in a factory. The marbled glaze is applied manually, and the firing process creates unique variations in color and pattern.
Why is the base unglazed?
Leaving the base unglazed is a Japanese tradition, it shows the raw clay and prevents the mug from sticking to the kiln shelf during firing. It also gives the mug a slight grip on the table, reducing slipping.
Why is the base of my Kintsugi Marbled Mug getting darker?
The unglazed base absorbs tannins from coffee and tea, and a light stain is normal patina. For a deep clean, soak it in a baking soda and water paste for 15 minutes, then scrub gently.
Does it have gold kintsugi lines?
No. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold lacquer, and this mug borrows its idea of beauty in imperfection. Its look comes from the marbled glaze and the visible throwing ridge, not from gold repairs.
Can it go in the microwave or dishwasher?
It is microwave safe, but it heats quickly, so use a cloth to take it out. Hand washing is recommended, because a dishwasher can dull the marbled glaze and stain the unglazed base.
Is it big enough for a latte?
It is on the small side. At 210 ml, it fits a cappuccino or a short Americano; a large latte needs a bigger mug.
