She likes my spark! The third design of my Studio Ghibli Series. As this design is very labor intensive , this is currently available as a preorder only. Your mug will not ship out until September 15th so that I have time to give each mug the love and attention to detail they need. Each mug is a large high quality 21-ounce Gibson Elite Stoneware mug. The art on the front of the mug is hand sculpted, painted, and protected with varnish. Can you use these mugs? Yes! But please read the care instructions below before purchasing. These are meant to be a display piece of art/statement mug that gets minimal to moderate use. How well the art stands up to time will depend on the care given. These are not an everyday typical use kind of mug . As these decorations are hand sculpted and painted, no two will look exactly the same. There may be slight differences to color, size, shape etc but I do my best to make them as similar to the original as possible:) The mugs are a matte grey on the outside with a colorful glaze on the inside. We carry orange, blue, teal and green. We no longer offer the option to choose due to high order volumes and how easy it is to mix them up. The default color for these is orange but if that glaze color is sold out, your mug will come on one of the other 3 colors and will be a surprise, but rest assured we match designs with their complimentary colors :) READ BEFORE PURCHASING CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Your mug should be at room temperature before pouring water into it, never use freshly boiled water as the sudden temperature change can cause cold ceramic to crack. Let the boiled water sit for at least 5 minutes before pouring. Please be aware that despite the bottom of the mug saying these are dishwasher/microwave safe because they are kiln fired, the mugs are gentle handwash ONLY to protect the design. Polymer clay cannot be put in the dishwasher, freezer, or microwave. Do not scrub or use abrasives on the design. Do not leave to soak submerged in water. Clean with soft washcloth, or non-abrasive sponge only and dish soap. PROCESSING TIMES/SHIPPING: Please note the estimated delivery window provided to you at checkout by Shopify.
