  • Digital Proof Creation:
    Our team prepares a digital proof showing exactly how your design will appear on the mug—including placement, size, and detailing.
  • Review & Edits:
    You’ll receive the proof via email. Carefully review every detail (logo, text, positioning) and request any necessary revisions.
  • Final Approval:
    Once you’re completely satisfied, sign off on the final proof. Please note that no further changes can be made after approval.

b) Production Timeline Confirmed

  • As each mug is handmade, production typically takes 6–8 weeks. We’ll keep you informed with regular updates so you know exactly when to expect your order.

c) Mug Production Process

  • Handcrafting:
    With your artwork approved, our skilled artisans begin crafting your mugs by hand using time-honored techniques.
  • Glazing & Firing:
    Each mug is carefully glazed in your selected color and then fired in our state-of-the-art kiln to achieve a durable, beautiful finish.
