I took it out of the box and displayed it on a shelf in my room. I have never put any drinks in it or washed it. There is some slight soiling on the white rim of the bottom, so please consider this carefully before purchasing. Also, I have already disposed of the box that the mug came in when I bought it, so I will put it in another box for shipping.
