Choosing Porcelain For Your Mugs

Porcelain mugs are popular because of the high quality of the material. Fired at high temperatures, this ceramic variant is refined and ready for any aesthetic setting. How you use them is all up to you.

• Porcelain is durable, high on shine, takes various designs well and lasts through multiple rounds in the microwave or dishwasher. It's popular for plates and other dinnerware, too.
• While mugs can be made of many types of clays or ceramics, many people prefer porcelain for its strength. These mugs are far less likely to chip or crack with normal use.
• The boldness of the colors and designs you'll find makes porcelain mugs perfect for anyone who loves to collect mugs. They make great gifts, too, for birthdays, colleague milestones or other events.
• If you're stocking your kitchen for the first time in a new home, you may want to look at sets of mugs. For instance, a caterer's box of 12 is just what you need when inviting people over to housewarming parties or other gatherings, now or in the future.

Colors and Styles of New Mugs

Once you've got the basics in your cabinet, be sure to check back frequently for new styles arriving. With the change of seasons or the advent of holidays, you'll always find new porcelain mugs to enjoy or give as gifts.
