Ceramic Tea Mug with Lid, Anti-scalding Handle Design Ceramic Coffee Mug or Tea Cup Milk Tea Drink Porcelain Cup, Great for Tea Lover Gift (Persimmon)

Love it, a little small compare to a normal coffee cup

I'm grateful I stumbled upon this mug during a sweet deal. The original price seemed quite fair, but frankly, I already own enough mugs to invite a small army over for tea as it is, so I can't in good conscience justify buying more without a special occasion. Luckily, Birds + Sale is firmly in the top 3 on my list of such occasions! Now that I've gotten my hands on this, I genuinely feel guilty for getting it on sale. It's an absolute steal at the regular price, and I have copious evidence to back that up.First of all, it's stunning in person. The decorative imagery is executed beautifully and generously covers half the base. Adorable birds and lovely flowers are prominently featured on the lid too. There are metallic accents among the vibrant and bold colors, and the elegant glimmer they give off in the light is just icing on the cake. The slight curvature of the base adds even more visual appeal.Though it has the look of a display piece, this mug is well-designed to the core to be fully functional. It has the same basic dimensions and capacity as a standard mug, so it holds my usual amount of tea and fits perfectly in my cabinet and on my cute coasters. The fancy handle is actually super comfortable to grip. Its built-in knuckle rest and the lid's handle both stay cool to the touch, and the lid fits just right. When I absent-mindedly wander away from my drink, the lid keeps my tea warm while simultaneously preventing dust and bug infiltrations.Though I intend to handle it with care, this mug really doesn't strike me as overly fragile, so I'm not too concerned with breaking it to enjoy using it. The ceramic feels thick, sturdy, and high quality to me. The mug has a nice weight to it and a good center of gravity too. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher, but I don't allow my old, grumpy machine to touch anything I love anyway. Hand washing is a small price to pay to keep this mug in my life, and it seems quite durable, so I fully expect we'll grow old together.

Everyone who sees this falls in love. I plan to gift some.

It keeps my decaf tea warm at nite

This cup keeps my coffee hot longer than other cups have. The manufacturer explains this is caused by 1. Smaller size 2. Smaller top surface because of the shape of the cup 3. Material cup is made of. Plus, it's pretty!

It’s good for seeped tea works great for me

So this cup while beautiful has the print only on one side. The other side is plain white. Either you can look at the beautiful magpies while others see a bland white cup you’re drinking out of or you can have them enjoy it while you stare at the plain side. This was not apparent from the descriptions of the pictures, so I find this deceiving and hence just 3 stars. For $17.99 it doesn’t stand up to expectations. With that being said, the print is beautiful; I just wish it wrapped around the whole cup.

It's LOVELY. I only wish it was a little larger but other than that it far exceeded my expectations. I was so pleased with it that I bought a 2nd one as a gift for my twin sister 😊
