Questions about the product Authentic medieval clay mug 0.5L

What special care instructions should be observed for this handmade clay mug with a 0.5 l capacity, and is it suitable for cleaning in the dishwasher?

Handmade clay mugs are not dishwasher safe and should only be washed by hand with warm water. To prevent cracking or mold growth, avoid harsh cleaning agents and allow the mug to air dry completely after washing. It is recommended to soak the mug thoroughly in water before first use.
What artisanal techniques are used in the production of this authentic clay mug to ensure its historical appearance and robustness for everyday use?

The authentic medieval clay beaker is shaped using traditional hand-building techniques, such as coil or coil building, or by throwing on the potter's wheel. To ensure a historically accurate appearance and robustness, coarse-textured clays are often used, which are fired at high temperatures after shaping. Techniques such as smoothing with a drawknife, filling seams with slip, and optionally polishing the leather-hard surface give the beaker its characteristic texture and stability for everyday use.
