Ever loose your tea bag in the mug when pouring the hot water in? Well, no more! We added a slit in the lip of this mug to keep the tag from falling in! Makes a perfect gift for any tea enthusiast in your life All of our mugs are hand-thrown in stoneware clay and hand-painted. This piece was hand-dipped in our lead free Williamsburg Blue glaze and it holds approximately 14 fluid ounces. Accounting for the hand-made nature of the item, please realize no two mugs will be exactly alike. Such is the beauty of handcrafted goods! Microwave, dishwasher, and food safe. Avoid extreme changes in temperature and do not use on the stove/on an open flame. Proudly hand-made in Effort, PA, USA.
