This is a functional sculpture! No two mugs are alike, each mug is completely hand painted therefore there are slight imperfections present. The body is made from a groggy speckled clay, and part of the chain is constructed from acrylic. The chain handle is strong enough to hold the mug while it is full of liquid however I reccomend being gentle with handle. Although the handle is fully functional it moves freely so it is a little awkward to hold, it is meant to be more of a "fidget" while holding the mug by the body. If the chain gets twisted do not force it out of place, it is easy to untwist with a little care.  
 
Technically microwave safe (I microwave mine at home and have never had any issues) however I don't recomend it. To ensure longevity of piece please hand wash only! This object is made to stand the test of time as long as it is properly cared for. Please reach out to me if you have any accidents and I would be happy to help come up with a soloution.
