Milani Stoneware Mug 400ml - Green

Our Milani mug is a generous 400ml stoneware mug, 8cm across and 9cm tall, with a looped handle and a softly rounded body that narrows slightly towards the base. Its character comes from a vivid reactive glaze: green runs down from the rim in drips and streaks, deepening and warming towards the foot, with frosted, crystal-like patches where the glaze has pooled. The inside is glazed too. Because a reactive glaze moves as it is fired, no two pieces come out quite alike, so yours will carry its own pattern of runs and speckles.

At 400ml it holds a large tea or a milky coffee, so it suits the slow first cup of the morning far better than a quick espresso. It sits comfortably on the kitchen table, beside the laptop on a desk or on a bedside table next to a book, and it is a good size for hot chocolate on a cold evening. Buy a few and your breakfast table gets mugs that match in shape and glaze yet differ in their markings, which is half the charm. It also makes a thoughtful present for a tea drinker who likes glazed pottery with some life in it.

The body is 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic that holds heat well, and the mug weighs 0.25KG, light enough for an everyday cup. The maker lists it as food safe and dishwasher safe, so it can join your other crockery in the dishwasher. It is not suitable for the microwave or the oven, so heat milk in a pan and pour it in rather than warming it in the mug. For styling, give it a spot on an open shelf or a wooden dresser, where the glossy glaze catches the light, or set it beside plain white crockery so its green runs show clearly.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

Yes. The maker lists it as dishwasher safe, so it can go in with your everyday crockery after each use.

Can I use it in the microwave?

No. The maker states it is not microwave safe and not oven safe, so heat your drink separately and pour it into the mug.

How much does it hold?

It holds 400ml and measures 8cm across and 9cm tall, a generous size for a large tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate.

Does every mug have the same glaze pattern?

No. A reactive glaze moves and pools as it is fired, so each mug has its own runs, speckles and frosted patches in the green glaze.

What material is it?

It is 100% stoneware finished in a vivid reactive glaze. The maker lists it as food safe, and it weighs 0.25KG.
