cardinals on a branch coffee mug

I bought this mug to compliment the "Cardinals in the Wild" mug I purchased. I was so impressed that I could customize the picture and sized it to be of similar presence on the mug as the other style I purchased. I loved the ability to choose the options in size and features like the ring and colored handle. The deep red on the cardinal does not match the maroon as well as I expected. It looks maroon on the back of the cardinal in the picture but is more of a dark red in person. I wish there was more of a description on if it is microwave/dishwasher safe.

Printing looks good, nice vibrant colors, no flaws or defects. Mug looks good from every angle. The images flow nicely across the mug.
