Game of Thrones Licensed Ceramic Mug

The item is a Game of Thrones themed ceramic mug, specifically featuring a map-like design on its exterior (partially visible). The mug is primarily a light, unglazed ceramic color on the lower half and interior, with a dark, possibly black or dark blue, glazed upper portion adorned with what appears to be a map of Westeros or Essos, characteristic of the Game of Thrones universe. The base of the mug is unglazed and reveals important manufacturing and care instructions. Visible markings on the base include "DISHWASHER SAFE," "MICROWAVE SAFE," and "MADE IN CHINA," indicating its country of origin and suitability for common household use. Furthermore, the base prominently features licensing information, with the text "GAME OF THRONES" and the HBO logo, along with "TM & © 2014HOME BOX OFFICE." This date suggests the item was manufactured in or after 2014. Another important label states "NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 12." The mug appears to be in good used condition with some minor surface dirt or wear visible on the unglazed rim of the base. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for mass-produced licensed merchandise, with no obvious flaws in the glazing or ceramic work, suggesting a moderate to good quality item for functional use and fan appeal.
