Product Details
A thousand years of Silk Road history, reimagined for your morning ritual. Hand-etched from authentic Yellow River Clay, this 9.8 oz vessel features the iconic "Rider" motif—a symbol of nomadic freedom. Using the ancient Sgraffito technique, our artisans create a tactile, 3D texture that turns every sip into a sensory journey.
Artisan Made: No two mugs are identical.
Superior Warmth: Natural clay for perfect heat retention.
The Perfect Pour: 9.8 fl oz (290 ml) — tailored for Latte & Cappuccino lovers.
Product Care
Preserving the Craft
To maintain the intricate hand-carved details and the integrity of the natural clay, please follow these care instructions:
Hand Wash Recommended: While durable, we recommend hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent to preserve the unique texture of the Sgraffito carvings.
Microwave Safety: This mug is safe for microwave use. Perfect for a quick reheat of your morning brew.
Thermal Shock: As with all artisanal stoneware, avoid extreme, sudden temperature shifts (e.g., placing a cold mug directly into boiling water) to prevent cracking.
The Patina of Time: Over time, the unglazed clay portions may develop a subtle patina from the oils of your hands and coffee, adding to its unique "Wabi-sabi" character.
