Yes, ceramic cups from Heath are dishwasher safe with some considerations. We recommend using gentle detergents and running the dishwasher on a light cycle for the best results. While stoneware is more chip-resistant than bone china or porcelain, you’ll want to be sure not to overload the dishwasher to prevent pieces from touching. Avoid rinse aids, which may damage your stoneware’s glaze.

Yes, ceramic mugs and cups from Heath are microwave safe with some considerations. We caution against placing our mugs or cups in the microwave for extended periods of time. As a rule of thumb, avoid shocking the temperature of any ceramics from cold to hot – or vice versa. Stoneware naturally withstands heat, but sudden temperature changes crack your beloved Heath pieces.
