Description
This vintage ceramic coffee mug borrows its look from the coffee tins and shop labels of years gone by. The body is a warm mustard yellow, banded in bright red at the rim and the base, with a red label panel at its centre. In bold cream lettering it reads Coffee, Hand Roasted and 12oz, with Barista over it and Medium Blend beneath in deep red. The same label sits on both sides, so it faces out whichever hand you hold it in. Inside, the mug is a soft cream, matched by a rounded cream handle.
It stands 8.5cm tall, 8.9cm wide and 13cm long, and holds about 350ml, a generous brew for a proper mug of coffee or a large tea. That makes it a good everyday mug for the kitchen, the breakfast table or the desk, sized for a full morning cup rather than a quick espresso. The cheerful colours brighten a set of open shelves or a mug tree, and the retro lettering sits happily in a farmhouse kitchen, a modern flat or an office tea point. We think it is the sort of mug that quietly becomes the one everybody reaches for first.
It is made of ceramic and weighs 382g, so it feels solid and steady in the hand without being heavy. It is dishwasher safe, which suits a mug that will be used every day, and between washes a quick rinse keeps the cream interior looking fresh. To make the most of it, hang it from a hook or line it up beside your coffee things on the worktop, where the yellow and red bring a welcome splash of colour. Wrapped up with a bag of good coffee beans, it also makes an easy, cheerful present.
