It is not porcelain, but steel coated in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vitreous_enamel\"\u003evitreous enamel\u003c\/a\u003e, a glass powder fused onto the metal in firing, most often between 750 and 850 °C. Since the 18th century, kitchen utensils have been enamelled this way. The object has the conductivity of metal and the neutral surface of glass: it passes no taste to the drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% enamelled metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: made in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: enamel-coated steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: no taste passed on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: campfire compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAn object for the bivouac as much as the desk\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mug tolerates direct flame: you can warm a coffee on embers or on a stove, then drink it from the same vessel. That is what makes it an object for the bivouac as much as the desk. Careful, the handle heats up like the rest of the body: use a cloth or a glove to take it off the fire. It comes in black and blue, speckled with white, and goes with our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/cafetiere-bleue-emaillee\"\u003eenamel coffee pot\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChipping is part of the object\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith time, the enamel cracks and lets the metal show, generally on the rim and the bottom. It is not a manufacturing flaw: it is the normal behaviour of an enamel subjected to thermal and mechanical shock. If a chip comes off, remove it, wash the mug and keep using it. These marks become its patina, like wear on a work garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eColours\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo colours, black or blue, speckled with white, with a curved handle. Each mug shows slight variations in the speckling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrecautions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNever use it in the microwave: it is metal. Let it cool before washing, and never plunge a still-hot mug into cold water, to avoid the thermal shock that cracks the enamel. Avoid stacking it roughly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash in hot soapy water with a soft sponge or a nylon scourer, never a metal scourer or an abrasive detergent. It is dishwasher safe, but repeated washing dulls the enamel: hand washing keeps it shiny longer. For a stubborn stain, leave it to soak for a quarter of an hour in hot soapy water, with a little bicarbonate of soda if needed. Dry it carefully, especially if it has chips.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champ de Manoeuvres","offers":[{"title":"blue","offer_id":46506916643149,"sku":"MG2022-1984","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":46506916675917,"sku":"MG2022-1985","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/7115\/4005\/files\/mug-emaille-vintage-champ-de-manoeuvres-1-44262128255309.jpg?v=1789671580","url":"https:\/\/champdemanoeuvres.com\/en\/products\/vintage-enamel-mug-german-steel","provider":"Champ de Manoeuvres ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
