Technical details
Hand-pinched ceramic tea mug specs
This handmade ceramic mug is crafted for everyday tea drinking, with a generous thick handle that stays cool and comfortable in your hand. The rippled rim and floral motif give each piece its own character-no two are identical, which is exactly the point. Made from ceramic and dishwasher safe, it's built to last through countless morning brews and evening infusions. Perfect for loose leaf tea or bagged varieties, and easy to clean after use.
Why you'll love it
Charmingly imperfect ceramic tea mug
Believe me, there's something about a mug that's a little off-kilter that makes your tea taste better. Each hand-pinched ceramic mug is wonderfully irregular-no factory sameness here. That thick handle feels substantial in your palm, and the rippled rim catches the light just right. It's the kind of piece that feels alive on your table, like it's got personality. That's what handmade does for you.
Crafted by hand
Handmade ceramic with floral character
This ceramic mug is hand-pinched from start to finish, which means every single one is unique. The thick handle won't thin out or crack, the rippled rim is deliberate (not a flaw), and the floral motif is painted with care. Dishwasher safe, so you're not stuck hand-washing after every cup. Mind you, some folks prefer the ritual of washing by hand anyway. Either way, it holds up beautifully. Learn more about hosting tea at home with the right ceramics.
Picture this
Your morning ritual, made better
It's 7 a.m. You've just steeped your loose leaf tea-maybe a strong black, maybe something gentler. You wrap both hands around this ceramic mug, feel the weight of that thick handle, and the warmth seeps into your fingers. The floral motif catches the morning light. You're not rushing. This mug says slow down. This is your moment, and it matters.
Real-world proof
Survives daily tea life with grace
It goes in the dishwasher without complaint. The glaze doesn't chip. The handle stays sturdy through hundreds of refills. Whether you're brewing loose leaf tea at the right temperature or just reheating yesterday's cup, this ceramic mug is there. The rippled rim never catches your lip wrong. It's the kind of thing you reach for without thinking, which is exactly how you know it's right.

FAQ
Questions about your ceramic mug
Is this mug really dishwasher safe?
Yes, absolutely. The ceramic is durable enough for the dishwasher, though some folks prefer hand-washing to keep the glaze looking pristine longer. Either way works beautifully.
Will each mug look exactly the same?
No, and that's the beauty of it. Hand-pinched means every mug is slightly different-unique ripples, slight variations in the floral motif. That irregularity is what makes it feel alive, not a factory copy.
Is the handle really thick enough to hold comfortably?
Yes. The thick handle is one of the best features. It stays cool longer and feels substantial in your hand, whether you're holding hot tea or just cradling your mug during a quiet moment.
What size is this mug? How much tea does it hold?
The description doesn't specify exact capacity, but it's a standard tea mug size-perfect for a full brewing of loose leaf tea or a generous cup of your favorite blend. Contact us if you need exact dimensions.
What if I don't love it?
You've got 30 days to return it, no questions asked. Plus, free US shipping both ways means there's zero risk. But between you and me, most folks fall in love with theirs pretty quickly.

With over 60 years of experience in the world of tea, we are happy to share our expertise with you.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
Do you offer a warranty on your products?
Yes, all our products are guaranteed for 1 year against manufacturing defects, on top of the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day return policy: if a product does not suit you, email teatime@luluteapot.com and we will make it right.
