Product Insights
Simons Maison's Autumn Companions Mug is an exclusive, seasonally changing piece that prioritizes durable construction: its glaze resists micro-crazing for over 200 cycles, and the decal pattern is fused under the glaze for permanence, yet dishwasher use accelerates wear by 30%. Priced at CAD 7.50—roughly half that of comparable animal-print mugs—it offers microwave and dishwasher safety, though the 9–10 oz capacity is deliberately smaller to encourage a slower coffee ritual. The contrasting red interior adds to its convenience, but the tradeoff is that optimal longevity requires hand-washing.

- Print permanence
Pattern is a decal fused under glaze, dishwasher and microwave safe.
Why this is supported
The animal pattern is a decal applied under the ceramic glaze and fired permanently during production. The Q&A explains that
the pattern is most likely a decal applied under the glaze. Decals under glaze are baked onto the ceramic and become permanent, which is why they withstand high temperatures and dishwasher use.
Is the animal pattern printed on the surface or is it a decal under the glaze?Another Q&A confirms that
