Got the Christmas edition version as a pressie and, as a reminder of his second coming, have a "Zamora 25" one from a few seasons ago.

I am loathe to use them as neither has any indication as to whether they are dishwasher safe and I would not wish to despoil either.

Have put a note on the shop Q & A online board but no response, any one able to enlighten me please?

The design has faded to nearly nothing on my few-years-old one, so the new one I got in 2018 goes nowhere near the dishwasher.

I AM the dishwasher and any mug gets the same handwash care and a drop of bleach and a boiling water soak once in a while to get the tea stains out.

Most new mugs are a print which is stuck to a preglazed mug then baked, the image sinks into the glaze.

Dishwashers are too hot and it will fade and die.

Wash by hand.

Old mugs were Screen printed I think, my 79/80 promotion mug is good, but only used for special occaisions these days.
