I bought four great mugs at the grocery outlet two days ago. Handles were bright red chiles,a nd there were bright red chiles in a raised area on the mug. Put them through the dishwasher, and 80% of the red washed off. They're from Thailand, and the bottoms of the mugs do not say dishwasher safe, but I thought everything was now dishwasher safe. It isn't. If you buy these mugs, don't put them in the dishwasher. Margaret L
