Can the Kintsugi Cold Tea Glass Go in the Dishwasher?

The Kintsugi Cold Tea Glass is listed as dishwasher-safe. The seller says urushi is applied to the back of the glass and sealed with a dishwasher-safe resin coating.

Why the backing matters

The surface you touch is glass. The protected decorative layer sits behind it, and the coating improves resistance to detergent and heat according to the listing. This care claim belongs to this constructed glass, not to every kintsugi object or traditional lacquered vessel.

Stop using the dishwasher if damaged

The product notes warn that friction, other dishes, or an impact to a corner can scratch the backing. If detergent gets underneath, the coating may peel, discolor, or deform. In that condition, the seller says to wash by hand instead.

Inspect the back and edges during routine care. Use the current care instructions for this exact glass.
