Japanese Cups

It depends on the design and finish.
Some ceramic cups handle occasional microwave use, but many handcrafted pieces are more delicate, and heat changes can cause cracks or fading.
Dishwashers aren’t ideal for unique glazes.
Wooden cups should never go in microwaves or dishwashers, as they can warp or split.

For longevity, use gentle handwashing and follow each product’s care instructions.
