Bosmarlin Ceramic Coffee Mug, Tea Cup for Office and Home, 13 oz, Dishwasher and Microwave Safe, 1 Pack (Grey(Glossy))

UPDATED: Upgraded from 3 to 5 stars after exchanging the mug, the replacement is 5 stars perfect in ever way and it has arrived the next day. We own now 3 of these mugs, all fantastic in every way. They are so harmonious, they remind of Kon Marie inspirational videos :)As a hyper-non-minimalist, I found this dot of simplicity perfect for my kitchen. And the family loves it too!The shipping back for replacement was free and no box was required, we just dropped it by UPS, they packed (with Prime).The perfect replacement has arrived immediately, not even 24 hours has passed.Two other identical mugs ordered from the same company were flawless to start with.------------------------The original review was 3 stars as follows:mix-use, mix-impressions: 5 stars design, 1 star workmanship, 3 stars porcelainWe'll keep it as a dry-erase marker holder. I bought it to see if it can be written on with a dry erase marker and erased without "ghosting": the answer is YES, both on the matte outside and on the gloss inside. But it cannot be gifted because there are numerous flows in its finishing:a dark scratch on the front, small bubbles and a large "spill looking" streak on the surface. The design is above 5 stars: a unique and subtly captivating shape, understated but memorable, an innovative holder, a tasteful adaptation of "glossy inside, matte outside" trend (the line separating the two finishes on the top of the cup is not annoying at all, which is usually hard to achieve). I'd gladly pay more if the quality were be a par with the design.As a giftable tea cup, would be wonderful IF the quality were improved: keeps the temperature, pleasant to cup in one's hands. For this price, it will be a marker holder.Maybe we will get another to envelope a small pots with a succulent (with marble chips on top of the soil and dry erase labeling possibilities, it would be an ideal use for this cup).UPDATE: the second mug ordered was packed in a factory white box and had a flawless finish, none of the problems the first mug had. The first mug was not in a factory box and probably has been used. The second one which came from the factory is perfect. So you ill get, mysteriously, either a 3 stars or 5 stars product, at random :). The design itself is top-notch!

Bought this as a gift. Lovely quality, very study and beautiful color!

I like the size of the cup and the handle is a very nice size for man size fingers. Very please with cup and the color, will enjoy with coffee, tea and hot chocolate too.

Love this mug, easy to hold, very pretty. Came wrapped very well and in perfect condition.However, the design/color looks a bit different on the product page vs in real life. I prefer the image they posted.

Lovely hand made look. Consistent color. Good handle size. Big enough for a good size cup of coffee, but not so big it gets cold before you drink it.

UPDATE: This company read my review and responded by replacing both mugs! Now that is excellent customer service! I have had the mugs for six months, and so far, no problems with the handles. I have to admit I was a bit fearful of holding them by the handle with a full cup of hot coffee. Whether it was just a bad lot last time, or shipping that may have weakened the handle, I can't tell you. However, the two I have now are holding up well, so I am changing my rating to five starts. I guess the third time was the charm.This color of this mug is beautiful, so even though the handle broke last time, I bought it again, thinking it was something I had done.Well, I’ve only had this one for a month, and it has happened again. For the price of this mug, it should be much sturdier. Do not buy.

Handle stays cool, coffee gets hot in microwave! A winner! And easy to hold. The perfect cup.

I love this coffee mug. Sturdy, easy to hold. Attractive color pattern.
