The description suggests an 'illustration', which is typically applied as a decal or print onto the ceramic surface during manufacturing.

Can this mug be used in a microwave?

The product information does not explicitly state microwave safety. It is best to check the manufacturer's specific care instructions. Ceramic items can sometimes be unsafe for microwave use.

Is the mug dishwasher safe?

The product details do not specify dishwasher safety. Handwashing is generally recommended for items with detailed illustrations and textured finishes to ensure their longevity.

What material is the mug made from?

The mug is made from ceramic.

Does the ribbed design make it hard to hold?

No, the ribbed design is intended to provide a comfortable and secure grip, enhancing the tactile experience of holding the mug.

Troubleshooting

Mug has a small chip or crack.

Inspect the area. If minor and not compromising the mug's integrity for use with beverages, it may still be usable for decorative purposes. For significant damage, discontinue use to avoid potential hazards.

Illustration appears faded after washing.

This may indicate the use of harsh detergents or abrasive cleaning methods. Stick to mild soap and soft sponges for future washes. Consider handwashing exclusively.

Mug feels unstable or wobbles.

Check the base for any debris or unevenness. Ensure it is placed on a flat, stable surface. If the base itself is warped or damaged, the mug may be compromised.

Stains are visible inside the mug.

For tea or coffee stains, try making a paste of baking soda and water, applying it to the stains, letting it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrubbing with a soft cloth or sponge before rinsing thoroughly.
