text: This is an attractive, substantial mug. For drinking cold beverages I think it is a very good choice. I drink hot tea from large glass mugs. This mug shattered the second time I poured hot water into it. By contrast, three of the four large glass mugs I purchased at WalMart 5+ years ago are still going strong (one of them broke for other reasons). Thus, I do not recommend it for hot beverages.
