A more important question: are they microwave safe?

Oh, I'm sure they are labor intensive. And a crafter deserves to be paid for their work, no question. I just couldn't justify that price for a drinking vessel, myself.

My wife has the same problem when folks say she should sell her knitted stuff. The yarn alone could be $30-70 for a pair of socks. After 15-20 hours of labor, even at minimum wage would cross the no-way would I pay that much for a fancy utility object.

For her, she just makes stuff as gifts. Since it is homemade, the recipient usually has a sense of its value (she doesn't make stuff again for people who don't respect the item).

​

Not uncomfortable at all. The force of holding the mug is all on the inside of the handle. On some of my mugs, the spikes give a handy pinkie hook for really great leverage.

Besides, like laying on a bed of nails (not that I have lol), the weight/force is distributed over all contact points.

They are microwave and dishwasher safe. I don't put my personal pieces in the dishwasher because I don't trust the high force blast not throwing a lighter piece of dish-wear into it. But I do microwave em all the time. My friends and family do wash them in dishwashers however.
