KitchenCraft The Nutcracker Collection Ceramic Mug, 300 ml, Gift Tagged, Green/Black

This a super cute mug with a design so original it's worthy of gifting!The nutcracker mug immediately wins points in creating a first impression. As soon as others saw this they were intrigued! A cup shaped like a chubby nutcracker, with his body as the base and his face as the spout. The light, simple colours also adds to the warmth this character mug brings. The shape may seem odd at first but nothing so radical. The mug widens on the nutcracker body, then curves and narrows towards the top. The split actually works as a clever design- the 300ml size means a standard 200-250ml cup of tea fills the body, leaving the top, the nutcracker's head empty and safe to drink from. As advertised, this also means there's some space to add a swirl of cream or whatever fancy treat you want to add to your drink (I prefer holding back on the sugar ;)Most importantly, this mug is microwave safe! I will admit this mug does feel lighter than expected. I feared this mug was going act like those cheap porcelain mugs sold elsewhere that inevitably shatter.Despite the lighter feel, a quick search online reveals dolomite ceramic, used in making this mug, holds durable qualities as promised. This material is still not dishwasher safe but strong enough to withstand hot drinks and being microwaved.In all, this is a wonderfully unique mug, cute in its character expression and built to hold hot drinks.*Note: this mug arrived in a plain box. For anyone wanting to gift this mug, you will likely have to package this seperately.

Small in size so probably good for kids, nice comfortable handle, the quality, and the paintwork are superb, nice little Xmas mug.

Pros:* hand painted, and looks personal* the colours are bright and vibrant* design is excellent

Cute mug with no lid.The mouth of the mug is round and the thickness of the wall is average. I can't say it's sturdy quality, but it didn't crack or chip when I received it.The packaging is a bit shabby, and I recommend adding a layer of shock-resistant foam during shipping.

Great Christmas mugCries out for hot chocolate with marshmallowsLooks cute

Lovely festive gift. This nutcracker collection by KitchenCraft has some really affordable gifts/ Christmas treats for yourself.This mug comes nicely packaged but the quality isn’t the best. For the price it’s not too bad and totally fine for the 1 month a year use but wouldn’t recommend to become a daily mug!

This is a lovely nutcracker mug and is very cute. Handmade and hand painted so it does feel quite delicate - so I would not give to children. Obviously not dishwasher safe either. A good sized mug and very festive, ideal for a Christmassy hot chocolate.

This is a lovely little Christmas mug with a festive Nutcracker theme. It’s hand painted so don’t expect perfect paint but it has a rustic charm I love. It’s smaller than I expected but fits a nice size cup of hot chocolate.
