A
Wikipedia mug as a white glazed ceramic mug
A mug is a sturdily built type of
cup often used for drinking hot beverages, such as
coffee,
tea, or
hot chocolate. Mugs, by definition, have handles and often hold a larger amount of
fluid than other types of cup. Usually a mug holds approximately 12
fluid ounces (350 ml) of liquid; double a tea cup. A mug is a less formal style of drink container and is not usually used in formal
place settings, where a
teacup or coffee cup is preferred.
Shaving mugs can be used to assist in
wet shaving.
Whereas ancient mugs were usually carved in wood or bone or shaped of clay, most modern ones are made of
ceramic materials such as
earthenware,
bone china,
porcelain or
stoneware. Some are made from strengthened glass, such as
Pyrex. Other materials, including plastic, steel and
enameled metal are preferred where break resistance and reduced weight are at a premium, such as for
campers. Techniques such as
silk screen printing or
decals are used to apply decorations; these are fired onto the mug to ensure permanence.
