The Le Creuset La Jardin Cappuccino Mug is a 200ml stoneware mug decorated with a delicate tulip pattern, part of Le Creuset's garden-inspired La Jardin collection. At 200ml it is sized for cappuccino and other espresso-based drinks rather than a standard everyday mug, which is worth bearing in mind if you are buying it as a gift. Made from specialist stoneware in Thailand, the glazed surface is scratch-resistant and thermoresistant from -23°C to 260°C, and the mug is cleared for use in the oven, microwave, grill and dishwasher. The stoneware body retains heat well, keeping your drink warmer for longer than a thinner ceramic mug would. It pairs with other pieces in the La Jardin range and makes a good choice as a gift for a Le Creuset collector or anyone who appreciates well-made ceramics.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Before first use: Remove all labels and packaging. Wash in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly before use.
Cleaning: Allow the mug to cool completely before washing. Wipe away any residue from the base and sides. If anything is stuck, fill the mug with warm, soapy water and leave it to soak for 15 to 20 minutes before washing as usual. Wash and dry by hand, or place in the dishwasher for a full cycle.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Is 200ml large enough for everyday use, or is this strictly a cappuccino cup?
Answer: A standard everyday mug typically holds 300-350ml, so 200ml will feel noticeably smaller if that is what you are used to. It is well suited to cappuccino, flat white, hot chocolate in smaller servings, or any drink you prefer in a more modest cup. If you are buying this as a gift, it is worth mentioning the size so the recipient knows what to expect.
Question: Can this mug be used on the hob?
Answer: No, like all Le Creuset stoneware, this mug is not suitable for direct hob use. It is designed for oven, grill and microwave use only and should not be placed on a gas, electric or induction hob. If you need something that works on the hob, Le Creuset's cast iron range would be worth a look.
Question: Will the tulip pattern fade with regular dishwasher use?
Answer: Le Creuset confirms this mug is dishwasher safe and the glaze is designed to be durable in everyday conditions. As a general rule with decorative stoneware, hand washing tends to preserve the finish and colour over the long term, so if keeping the pattern looking its best is a priority, that is the safer option. The scratch-resistant glaze makes hand washing straightforward in any case.
Question: Does this mug pair with other pieces in the La Jardin collection?
Answer: Yes, the La Jardin collection includes other pieces with the same garden-inspired design language, including the La Jardin Petite Casserole. If you are building a matched set or buying a gift for a Le Creuset collector, it is worth checking current availability across the range, as seasonal collections like this one are not always carried forward from year to year.
