Product Information

Full details

This Mikasa 400ml Grey Reactive Glaze Mug is designed for those who appreciate understated elegance in their daily beverage rituals. Its key benefit is the unique, handcrafted feel due to its reactive glaze, ensuring no two mugs are identical, while offering a generous capacity for your favorite hot drinks. A minor caveat is that the reactive glaze, while beautiful, means each mug's pattern will vary slightly. Made from high-quality stoneware, it keeps drinks warm, is microwave-safe for easy reheating, and dishwasher-safe for convenient cleaning. This versatile mug is ideal for both everyday enjoyment and special occasions.

FAQs

What does 'reactive glaze' mean?

Reactive glaze is a type of ceramic glaze that reacts with heat and minerals during the firing process. This creates unique, unpredictable color variations and patterns, meaning no two pieces are exactly alike. It gives each mug an artisanal, one-of-a-kind appearance.

Is the mug truly microwave and dishwasher safe?

Yes, the Mikasa Grey Reactive Glaze Mug is designed to be safe for both microwave use (for reheating) and for cleaning in a standard dishwasher.

How durable is stoneware?

Stoneware is a durable ceramic material, generally resistant to chipping and breaking during normal use. However, like most ceramics, it can chip or break if dropped or subjected to significant impact.

Can I put this mug in the oven?

The product information states the mug is microwave-safe, but does not specify oven-safe. It is best to avoid using it in the oven to prevent damage.

What are the dimensions and weight of the mug?

The mug measures 12cm (L) x 8cm (W) x 9cm (H) and weighs approximately 0.36kg.

Does the reactive glaze affect the taste of my drink?

No, the reactive glaze is a surface finish and is food-safe. It does not affect the taste of your beverages.

What is the warranty period for this mug?

The mug is supplied with a manufacturer's 12-month guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Mug arrived with a crack or chip.

Please contact customer support or the retailer where the mug was purchased to arrange for a replacement, as this may be a manufacturing defect or shipping damage. Refer to the 12-month manufacturer's guarantee.

Discoloration inside the mug.

This can often be removed by gently scrubbing the interior with a paste of baking soda and water, or by using a non-abrasive mug cleaner. Ensure thorough rinsing afterward.

Mug feels unusually hot after microwave use.

Stoneware retains heat well. While microwave-safe, the mug itself can become very hot. Use caution when removing from the microwave and allow it to cool slightly before handling. Ensure you are not overheating the contents.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the beauty and longevity of your Mikasa Grey Reactive Glaze Mug:

  2. Stubborn Stains: For stubborn tea or coffee stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and rinsed.
  3. Avoid Harsh Abrasives: Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch the glaze.

  5. Storage: Store in a cupboard or on a shelf, ensuring it is not placed under heavy items that could cause chipping.
