Description
This embossed earthenware mug brings Alice in Wonderland to the breakfast table, with Alice herself drawn on the front in fine, sketchy blue-grey lines, her hand at her chin and her pinafore dress spreading wide. Raised white roses and leaves climb over the pale blue glaze, and on the back her silhouette stands out in white relief among them. A line of white script runs around the body, asking about a garden and ending 'do you come from?'. The handle and foot are cream, and the handle finishes in a small scroll at the top.
It holds 340ml, a generous everyday cup of tea or coffee without being oversized, and it stands 10cm high, 12cm wide and 9cm deep, so it sits comfortably in the hand and tucks easily into a kitchen cupboard. The rounded, bellied shape and neat footed base give it a gentle, old-fashioned charm that suits a slow afternoon tea, a weekend breakfast or a quiet cup at the desk. Between uses it looks just as pretty on an open shelf or dresser. If you have loved the story since childhood, it is a lovely piece to own, and a gift that will be used every day rather than kept in a cabinet.
The mug is made from ceramic earthenware with a glazed finish, which gives the pale blue its soft sheen and lets the raised roses catch the light. To keep the embossing and the illustration looking their best, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. Wrapped up with a packet of loose-leaf tea or a bag of favourite coffee, it makes a thoughtful present, and it is equally welcome kept back as your own everyday cup.
