Great for display and use. Bought this for a exchange through a button group I belong to through Facebook. My exchange partner collects owls and this was perfect to hold some owl and other buttons I found to give her.
I absolutely love this mug. It is almost too pretty to use, but I do anyway. When not in use, I display it on a shelf with a few travel mementos. It?s too pretty to hide away in a kitchen cabinet.
