Ceramic Coffee Mug with Reactive Glaze, 400 ml (13.5 fl oz)

When there are six white mugs in the cupboard and none of them stand out

The coffee is ready, you reach into the cupboard and grab any one – they all look the same anyway. Standard ware from a six-pack serves its purpose and nothing more. These mugs, on the other hand, have a reactive glaze that runs from a dark brown at the bottom to a vibrant color at the top.

What makes these coffee mugs special

• Capacity 400 ml (13.5 fl oz) – significantly more than a standard 200 to 250 ml cup, so a large latte fits without refilling.
• Reactive glaze with vertical gradient – the colors react with each other during firing and run from the dark base to the light zone; the transition zone varies for each mug.
• Offset rim in contrasting color – the top edge is color-separated and frames the drinking surface instead of simply fading out.
• Bulbous shape with 11 cm height (4.3 inches) – the curve fits comfortably in the hand and makes the mug more stable than slim, tall shapes.
• Four color options – placed side-by-side on the shelf, they form a row where each mug can be assigned to a person.

Suitable for coffee, latte, tea, and hot chocolate, for the coffee corner in the kitchen, and as visible tableware on an open shelf. Also usable for soup or porridge. Whether delivered individually or in a set of four can be found in the product selection. Since the glaze runs differently with each firing, the delivered piece will differ from the product photo.

Does the glaze hold up in the dishwasher?

According to the manufacturer, yes. Reactive glazes are fired on and do not come off, but can become duller over the years if harsh detergents are used. Therefore, clean the mugs on a normal cycle and do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool. The manufacturer makes no statements regarding microwave use – in case of doubt, avoid it, as dark glazes occasionally contain metallic components.
