The Portofino Ceramica Bento Stoneware Mug for Your Slow Living Home
Are you missing the perfect vessel to enjoy both your favorite hot and cold drinks? With the mugs from our Bento series, coffee, tea, lemonades, water, and many other warming and refreshing beverages become a truly special treat.
Traditional Craftsmanship with Modern Design
Our Bento mugs are carefully hand-formed from European stoneware and glazed. The glazes, which comply with EEC guidelines, react with each other to create the unique color gradient that makes each mug one-of-a-kind. In this way, our Bento mugs reflect what is special about nature: its diversity, authenticity, and imperfection.
With every mug, a small piece of Portugal enters your home. Not only does the sunny country on the Atlantic inspire our designs, but it is also where our products are manufactured. Sustainable, environmentally friendly, and fair production is a matter of great importance to us. We use natural materials and work with family-owned businesses that dedicate themselves to the creation of unique dinnerware with care and thoughtfulness.
Due to this meticulous and sustainable manufacturing, our products are more expensive than conventional mass-produced goods. This is how we prevent someone else from paying the price: the artisans and the environment.
Lasting Quality and the Right Care
To make our stoneware mugs durable, the high-quality material is fired twice at approx. 1200°C: once after shaping and again after glazing. This makes the products chip-resistant, robust, and suitable for the dishwasher and microwave.
Through proper care and cleaning, you can extend the lifespan of your Bento mugs even further: Use regular dishwasher tabs and gentle wash cycles, and avoid aggressive detergents with citrus additives. This will preserve the unique color gradient of your mugs for a long time.
Variety for Your Enjoyment
To ensure you have the right drinking vessel ready for every occasion, our Bento mugs are available for purchase in three different sizes: Enjoy your Italian espresso on the balcony with your small but fine Bento espresso mug. The medium Bento mug is ideal for a coffee or a small refreshment in between. With your large Bento mug, you can treat yourself to a delicious herbal or fruit tea to unwind in the evening, or simply stay hydrated with fresh water.
