Nothing lasts forever
I love this mug! The basic idea is brilliant and the design is well executed - it cmbines two of Tenniel's original illustrations to magically* create one of the most famous moments of the story - Genius! The disappearing effect worked perfectly upon the addition of boiling water (more tea?) and was very amusing.

However, as with other reviewers, I found that the actual execution leaves something to be desired. My mug came with instructions not to soak it in hot water whilst washing, which I ignored. As a result, the design has started to wash off - Heartbreaking! I'm so disappointed. My mug now resides, unseen, unused and unappreciated in the kitchen cupboard, to spare it from any further damage.

I recommend that if you buy this mug you either wash it VERY carefully, or you buy it on the understanding that it is essentially a temporary, disposable novelty. (I still love it though)

* This mug does not function by means of real magic
