Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Willow Creek Tea Room, a bustling spot in Bakewell, Peak District, wanted to replace their plain white crockery. They needed something with more personality that could still withstand constant use and washing.
"Our customers constantly comment on how lovely the mugs are. They just feel right for the kind of relaxed, quality experience we want to offer. They've been a fantastic addition."
Robert Evans – Owner, The Willow Creek Tea Room
The new mugs contributed to a noticeable increase in social media tags, with customers frequently photographing their coffee and cake against the charming tableware.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give all mugs a thorough wash in hot, soapy water or a dishwasher cycle before first use.
- When stacking, do so carefully to avoid putting pressure on the rims.
- Brief your team on their quality – a little care goes a long way in preserving them.
Keeping It Going
- Load into the dishwasher so that items cannot knock against them during the cycle.
- Use a quality rinse aid to prevent water spots and keep the glaze gleaming.
- Avoid using harsh, abrasive scourers, as these can dull the beautiful finish over time.
- Regularly check for any chips and remove damaged items from service to maintain safety and standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these mugs heavy?
A: They have a reassuring, quality weight that feels substantial and durable, without being uncomfortably heavy for your customers.
Q: Will the duck egg blue colour fade over time?
A: No, the mugs feature a superior glaze finish which is specifically designed to protect the colour from fading, even after hundreds of dishwasher cycles.
Q: Are they suitable for serving desserts or soups?
A: Absolutely. Their generous 12oz capacity and microwave-safe nature make them a versatile option for serving portions of soup or warm desserts.
Q: What does 'hand-finished' actually mean for these mugs?
A: It means the reactive glaze is applied by hand before firing. This process ensures that each mug has a slightly unique pattern and finish, adding to its rustic charm.
Q: Do they get marked easily by metal cutlery?
A: The super vitrified body is extremely hard and highly resistant to metal marking from spoons and other cutlery, keeping them looking pristine for longer.
Q: Is the glaze completely food-safe?
A: Yes, all Churchill super vitrified products, including these mugs, are made to meet all global standards for food safety and hygiene.
Q: What is the best way to stack them for storage?
A: They can be stacked directly, but for maximum protection against rim damage, we recommend stacking no more than 3-4 high or using a soft shelf liner between them.
Q: Is every Churchill Stonecast DA902 mug identical?
A: No, and that's a key feature. Due to the hand-finished nature of the glaze, each piece has subtle variations, making every mug subtly unique.

Explore more from ChurchillWhat Exactly is 'Super Vitrified' Ceramic?
Ever wonder what 'super vitrified' actually means for a commercial stoneware mug? In short, it means it's incredibly tough. During manufacturing, the ceramic is fired at an extremely high temperature, which melts the particles together and removes any tiny pockets of air. This process, vitrification, makes the finished mug non-porous and exceptionally strong.
Think of it like the difference between a regular brick and an engineering brick. A regular brick absorbs water, but a dense, hard-fired engineering brick is water-resistant and can withstand immense pressure. That’s your super vitrified mug. It won't absorb moisture, flavours, or stains, and it's far more resistant to chips and cracks from daily knocks in a busy kitchen. It's science, but the result is simple: a longer-lasting, more hygienic, and better-looking mug for your business.
