Description
This porcelain mug marks a 21st birthday in style, with a large script-style 21 on one side and the words BirthDay Babe on the other. Both are written in copper-coloured lettering that sits over loose, painterly brushstrokes of lilac and blush, so the design feels cheerful and grown-up rather than fussy. It is a classic straight-sided mug with a generous loop handle, 8cm tall, 12cm wide and 8cm deep, a comfortable size for an everyday cup of tea or coffee.
A milestone birthday deserves a present that lasts beyond the day itself, and this is one that keeps being used long after the cards come down. We think it makes a lovely gift for anyone turning 21, whether it is unwrapped over breakfast on the morning of the birthday or handed over at the party. Afterwards it settles happily into the kitchen, onto a desk or beside the kettle, where the lettering is a small daily reminder of a good year. Because the 21 and the BirthDay Babe message sit on opposite sides, it looks just as good whichever way it faces on the shelf.
Porcelain gives the mug a smooth, bright surface that shows off the soft colours and the shine of the lettering. To keep the copper-coloured lettering and the brushstrokes looking their best, we suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which is good practice for any decorated porcelain. For an easy 21st birthday present, fill it with favourite tea bags, hot chocolate sachets or a few sweets, tie a ribbon around the handle and it is ready to give.
