Ceramics Care & Handling
Ceramics by nature are fragile and will last longer when treated gently.
Due to the intricate design and different hold attachments to the climbing cups, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to HAND-WASH only.
If you want to reheat your drinks, a maximum 1 minute in the microwave is suggested as the stoneware clay has a tendency to get hot due to the iron in the clay body. The iron is what gives the speckled or brownish color in the cups.
Cups with the 'metal' screws on the hold handles do not actually have metal components. This silver color is a ceramic glaze and all the clay and glazes used in my work are sourced commercially and certified safe to be used as tableware.
-----
For other tableware or drink-ware items, all glazes that will touch food/drinks have food-safe glazes. These items are also dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe - unless it is indicated that the piece has GOLD or PEARL lustre coating.
Gentle hand washing is *still* recommended due to the handmade nature of the items. The dish-washing machine is usually harsh on ceramics.
Here are a few more tips to make your ceramics last a lifetime (or longer!):
- Avoid taps and bumps with other dishware in the dishwasher, cupboards and when handling them in the sink. This can create tiny fractures that grow over time with repeated heat and moisture exposure and can result in larger cracks or attachments/handle falling off.
- Avoid putting your ceramics in the microwave for more than one minute at a time to avoid overheating the clay body.

My wife loved it!
Thank you!
Wonderful!
Love the mug! It’s very high quality and functional. The design is very cute and well done. Highly recommend this!
Absolutely gorgeous mug with incredible craftsmanship — even more stunning in person. The climbing-wall texture and hold-style handle are such a clever, thoughtful design. It feels substantial, beautifully made, and totally unique. I can’t wait to give it to my partner and see his reaction!
Absolutely perfect. I tried unsuccessfully to grab one of these mugs over the course of a few different drops, and I’m so glad I was finally lucky enough to snag one! The mug is exactly as pictured if not more beautiful in person. Craftsmanship is 10/10. Would not hesitate to buy again
Seriously the coolest mug I have ever bought! I am obsessed with climbing and these mugs are so unique and SO WELL DONE! And it makes me so happy to support local/small businesses! I cant wait to buy more!
I love this mug so much, it’s everything I hoped it would be
My climbing friend absolutely loves this mug!! It holds a great amount of liquid and the hold is comfortable enough for a long grip, but challenging enough to be more than a normal handle. This mug gets instant compliments and is a table centerpiece on all its own! I’d love to own a climbing flower vase one day, this mug does just will in the meantime
Awesome product, exceptional service and shipping! SO STOKED to finally get one of these!!
Incredible, gorgeous, creative, well-crafted, and so fun to drink from. My climber son dropped his jaw to the floor when he saw it. He has used it every day and it brings him such joy.
So happy I finally scored one of Louise’s climbing cups! They look absolutely amazing
Functional, fun and totally stunning! I hope very much to be a repeat customer and buy another mug for a friend!
I had such a great shopping experience, and the mug is perfect. Thank you!!
Best handmade cups/mugs ever! Love them all!
