Candace Gift-boxed Mug

I would give you a review but I have yet to receive the mugs that I ordered. I am glad to know that they are on the way to Toronto, Canada. I ordered them directly from you because I didn’t care for the assortment from the outlet in my area.
I really enjoy the designs of Vicki Sawyer and am looking forward to receiving my mugs. I hope they arrive soon. Regards, Jean

I love the shape and size of this mug, as well as the design. However, the gold-colored trim on the handle appears to be metallic, eliminating the mug's use in the microwave. Your website indicates that it is microwave-safe. Can you verify that? This is a deal-breaker for me; therefore, I may want to return/exchange the mug for another, similar Christmas-themed mug. In addition, the box it came in is very attractive, but superfluous. Is there an option of foregoing the box, thereby reducing the price?

Yes, it was hard to choose.

Beautiful mug!
