Their first Basilisc mug. A 325 ml plastic mug designed for little ones who are starting to drink independently and move on from the bottle.

It is lightweight, easy to hold and, because it is made of plastic, does not have the fragility of a ceramic mug if dropped. It is also made from BPA-free plastic and is suitable for the microwave and dishwasher.

Basilisc is illustrated on both sides of the mug, with its name in the centre and an orange background, the colour used to identify this design.

A plastic mug for learning to drink independently

When it is time to move on from the bottle, little ones also begin to hold their mug with their own hands. This makes a children's plastic mug particularly practical at this stage: it is lightweight and less fragile if dropped than a ceramic mug.

The handle makes it easy to hold, while its 325 ml capacity makes it suitable for breakfast, an afternoon snack or other drinks throughout the day.

BPA-free

The Basilisc Plastic Mug is made from BPA-free plastic.

It is also microwave and dishwasher safe. To help preserve the illustration, place it on the top rack of the dishwasher.
