Handwashing is recommended to preserve the finish, though this mug has no metallic details, so it can go in the dishwasher or microwave as long as it isn't damaged or cracked.

In our experience...
Jura is designed around the size of a typical after-dinner coffee. At 0.21 litres, it is intended for a smaller, stronger drink rather than a full mug of tea, which is part of why it fits neatly under most coffee machines.
Illustrating dogs in a deliberately scruffy, playful style is a specific artistic choice. Kate Mawdsley's amusing approach to a few favourite breeds leans into character and humour rather than precise breed accuracy, giving the design a more lighthearted feel.
Bone china gets its name from its bone ash content. Fine bone china is made by adding bone ash to the clay mixture, which gives the finished piece a distinctive translucency and a lighter weight than standard ceramic of the same size.
A flared top on a small mug still allows for a detailed pattern. Despite Jura's compact size, its flared shape gives an illustrator a reasonable surface to work with, which is how a multi-breed scene like this can still fit comfortably.
Pet-themed mugs are designed to capture personality, not just appearance. A design like Messy Dogs aims to be recognisable and funny to a dog owner, rather than working as a strict reference guide to specific breeds.
