A classic photo mug in its fullest layout: five pictures printed in full colour on plain white ceramic, with no coating, theme print or coloured interior involved. Five is the maximum this shape takes, and choosing it means accepting that each individual photograph is small.
The printable band on a standard mug is a little over ten inches once unrolled. Split five ways, a frame is about two inches wide. A face is still identifiable at that width from normal reading distance, and almost nothing else is. Six would take the frames past the point where a person can be recognised, which is where the range stops. There is no technical barrier to printing more, only a practical one, and a mug covered in unrecognisable people is not worth the ceramic under it.
Five is right when the whole set is the message and no single picture is carrying it. Five grandchildren, one each. A year in five photographs. Five generations of the same family.
Five dogs. In those cases nobody studies an individual frame, and leaving one person off would be the real problem. Five is wrong when one picture is the picture, because here it gets exactly the same two inches as the rest, and the single image version exists precisely for that case.
Plain glazed white is the ground that alters colour least, which counts for more as frames get smaller and have less room to absorb a cast. Eleven ounces is the everyday size, the one most cupboards hold. Fifteen ounces is noticeably taller and takes more. Twenty ounces is the tallest and the heaviest when full. With five narrow frames the vertical room on the larger sizes is the single most useful upgrade available.
Portrait orientation suits these frames better than landscape, since each is taller than it is wide. Pick all five before ordering rather than substituting later. If two of them came from the same afternoon and look much alike, drop one and take the four image version, where every remaining picture gets meaningfully more space.
The glaze takes the microwave. Use the top rack in the dishwasher. Washing it by hand keeps the colour brightest.
The picture is printed by sublimation. If an original looks flat, Colour Enhancement costs $1.99 per image. A hand wash keeps the picture sharper over years.
