Description
This white ceramic mug marks an eighteenth birthday with a large silver foil 18 on the front and the word eighteen written in flowing script just beneath it. The numerals are set in a classic serif with a bright, clean shine, while the script adds a softer, handwritten touch, so the design feels grown up rather than fussy. It holds 310ml, around 11oz, which makes a proper full-sized cup of tea or coffee. The mug stands 10cm tall, 12.5cm wide and 8cm deep, with a slightly tall, straight-sided body and a generous looped handle that leaves room for a few fingers.
An eighteenth birthday is one of the big ones, and this is a gift that keeps being used long after the cards come down. It suits a desk at college or work, a first flat, a bedroom shelf or the kitchen at home, and the white and silver sit happily alongside almost any everyday crockery. We like it as a keepsake that earns its place: something to reach for each morning that quietly remembers the day. It works well on its own, or tucked into a birthday hamper with a favourite tea, a hot chocolate or a bag of good coffee beans.
The mug is ceramic, with a smooth, glossy white surface and lettering in a silver foil that gives the 18 its mirror-like gleam. To keep the foil looking its best, we would wash it gently by hand in warm soapy water with a soft cloth, steer clear of scouring pads and dry it straight away; hand washing is simply the kindest care for any foiled detail. For gifting, wrap it in tissue, or fill it first with sweets, a few tea bags or rolled-up notes from friends and family, then tie a ribbon through the handle for a present that is ready to hand over.
