Sakura Soda Fountain Set of 4 Stoneware Coffee Mugs by Gregory Gorham

A set of 4 matching stoneware mugs from Sakura of America, sold together so every cup on the shelf matches. Design: Soda Fountain, by Gregory Gorham. About this set Buying mugs as a matched set is the sensible way to replace a whole shelf: every mug is the same shape and size, so they stack neatly and there is always a spare when one is in the dishwasher. Size and capacity The manufacturer does not publish a capacity for this item, so we do not quote one rather than guess. For reference only, a standard coffee mug usually holds between 10 and 14 fl oz. Material: stoneware Keeps drinks warm - stoneware walls are thick and dense, so a hot drink stays drinkable noticeably longer than in thin porcelain. Hard-wearing - fired at high temperature until the clay vitrifies - the durable end of ceramics, well suited to daily use. Natural variation - small differences in glaze tone and speckle between pieces are characteristic of the material, not defects. Care and use Dishwasher: glazed stoneware generally tolerates a dishwasher. Printed, painted or decorated designs keep their colour longest on the top rack or when washed by hand. Microwave: plain glazed stoneware is generally microwave-safe. Never microwave any mug with gold, silver or other metallic paint. Avoid thermal shock: do not pour boiling water into a mug taken straight from a cold cupboard or fridge - warm it under the hot tap first. Sudden temperature changes, not age, are what crack ceramics. Unglazed foot ring: if the base is left unglazed, run a fine sanding sponge over it once so it never scratches a worktop. Stains: a paste of bicarbonate of soda and a little water lifts tea and coffee rings without scratching the glaze. Avoid abrasive scourers. What is in the box 4 mugs Manufacturer's packaging, packed in a protective outer carton for FedEx Good to know Finish: glaze tone, speckle and painted detail can vary slightly from piece to piece and from the photographs.
