Era / Decade
2010s. Identified by the signature embossed Floral Lace pattern which was a staple of the brand's QVC era during the mid-2010s.
Material
Hand-painted ceramic stoneware with a reactive glaze finish and embossed detailing. Known for being microwave, dishwasher, and oven-safe.
Condition
Very Good. The mug shows no visible chips or cracks. There appears to be slight rubbing on the pink/burgundy accented edges, which is common with this hand-painted line.
Demand Level
Moderate. There is a dedicated 'Temp-tations' collector base, but single mugs are slower sellers than full sets or bakeware pieces.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Mercari are best for replacement pieces. Facebook Marketplace is recommended if you have a full set to avoid high shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Shabby Chic', 'Cottagecore', and 'Replacement Piece'. Pack extremely well with bubble wrap as stoneware is prone to shattering in transit. Photograph the bottom stamp to confirm authenticity for collectors.
