About
A standard handled drinking cup designed for hot drinks, standing under four inches tall.
Mugs are built heavier and thicker than traditional teacups, which helps them retain heat for hot beverages. Most everyday mugs hold between 8 and 12 fluid ounces (240 to 350 ml) of liquid, though sizes can range from small espresso cups to oversized novelty mugs. When a mug-shaped drinking vessel is built much larger than this, it is typically called a tankard.
From Wikipedia
