Message: <blockquote data-quote="talien" data-source="post: 9547365" data-attributes="member: 3285">[ATTACH=full]391126[/ATTACH]I got this mug as a gift and was impressed by the detail.<h3>The Good</h3>This mug is about four and a half inches high and four inches in diameter, with the handle adding an additional inch or so.The detail on this mug is striking. It's meant to be used as a drinking stein, as there's a stainless steel interior. There's two dragons repeating on each side, plus a wyvern for a handle. There is detailed knotwork along the bottom and a repeating antler design along the top. The mug is referenced online as being a Game of Thrones-themed mug but there doesn't seem to be much tie in, other than perhaps the antlers.[ATTACH=full]391127[/ATTACH]<h3>The Bad</h3>Due to the handle, this mug is virtually impossible to fit your full hand in it, making it unsuitable for drinking. The picture that's on the site even makes this clear -- three fingers at most!You can't run it through a dishwasher either or use it in the microwave. And the detail, while striking, is completely muddled by the generic metallic design.[ATTACH=full]391128[/ATTACH]<h3>Should You Buy It?</h3>So of course I painted it. There's a lot of great sculpted detail that really pops once it's given a wash and a dry brush. I'm quite happy with how it turned out, and it's now a worthy addition to my desk decor. If you're looking for a mug to hold dice or pencils, for twenty bucks this is a great investment. Just don't expect to drink out of it. <a href="https://amzn.to/4h1wiWl" target="_blank">You can purchase this product at Amazon for $20</a>.</blockquote>
