Description
This cheerful stoneware mug asks the question everyone starts wondering once the decorations go up, with "ARE WE MERRY YET?" printed across the front in soft lilac-pink capitals. The body is a clean white, while the handle and the whole of the inside are a deep, glossy purple, so a flash of colour shows with every sip. It holds 11oz, a generous cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate, and stands 9.8cm tall and 8.5cm deep, a comfortable everyday size that sits easily in the hand.
It belongs in the kitchen all through December, ready for the first mince pie of the month and the slow, sleepy mornings of the Christmas break. The tongue-in-cheek question makes it a lighthearted Christmas gift with a smile built in, and it is just as at home on a desk at work, beside the sofa during a festive film or tucked into a hamper with a bag of good coffee. Lined up with your other Christmas mugs, the purple handle and inside bring a richer note than the usual red and green, and the white body keeps the lettering easy to read from across the room.
The mug is made from stoneware with a smooth, glossy glaze, and the handle is a generous rounded loop with room for your fingers. To keep the lettering bright for many Christmases to come, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. Before you wrap it, try filling it with chocolate coins or a sachet of hot chocolate and a candy cane, so it arrives as a ready-made Christmas gift that needs nothing more than a tag.
