Description
This stoneware mug is made for a much-loved auntie, with the word Auntie written in flowing gold script across the front and a few gentle words set beneath it: there is no one else quite as lovely as you are to me. Beside the message, a small illustrated figure in a grey top and glittering gold trousers tips a watering can over a patch of pink flowers, surrounded by scattered stars, tiny hearts and soft grey dots. Turn the mug round and a second message runs along the top of the handle, reading you are wonderful, a quiet surprise she will find each time she picks it up. The body is white with grey and gold detail, in a low, rounded shape that widens towards the base, and it stands 8.5cm tall, 13cm wide and 12cm deep.
We think it makes a lovely gift for an auntie, whether she is the one who always has the kettle on, the one who keeps the garden blooming or simply the aunt you never stop being grateful for. The illustration and message appear on both sides of the body, so the words face her whichever hand she holds it in. At 8.5cm tall it is a compact mug that sits on a desk, a kitchen shelf or a bedside table, ready for a morning cup of tea or an afternoon coffee.
Stoneware is a dense, hard-fired ceramic, and the smooth surface takes the gold lettering and the fine line drawing cleanly. To keep the gold and the glitter looking bright, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. For gifting, it pairs nicely with a box of her favourite tea or a small bunch of flowers, a nod to the gardener on the front, and needs nothing more than a ribbon and a card to be ready to give.
