{"product_id":"begonia-striped-stoneware-mug-440ml-blue","title":"Begonia Striped Stoneware Mug 440ml - Blue","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a generous stoneware mug, 9cm across and 11cm tall, painted by hand with broad blue stripes that run from rim to base. It holds 440ml, which makes it a proper large mug rather than a cup: room for a big tea with milk, a long coffee or a hot chocolate on a cold afternoon. The stripes are laid on in a runny glaze, so their edges soften and bleed a little, and the sides carry a gentle ripple instead of a machine-perfect line. The shape tapers slightly towards the rim and finishes in a wide loop handle that takes more than one finger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur striped mug suits a breakfast table, a desk or the shelf above the kettle, and it is the sort of piece people reach for first. Blue stripes sit easily in a kitchen with painted wood, linen or plain tableware, and they bring a seaside note to a summer house or a holiday let. It makes a thoughtful present for a tea drinker who likes a big mug, and it looks just as good on an open shelf where the pattern can be seen from across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is 100% stoneware, a dense and hard-wearing material that holds heat well. The mug goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so a forgotten coffee can be reheated in it, and it can go straight into the cupboard after a wash without any special care. It weighs 0.39KG, enough to feel solid in the hand. Brushwork done by hand never repeats exactly, so each stripe has its own width and wobble. For a relaxed, collected look, hang several on hooks under a shelf or mix them with plain mugs in a tone close to the stripe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Stoneware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDecorated with handpainted stripes in runny glaze\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e440ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDishwasher safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrowave safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOven safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFood safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.39KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the mug hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt holds 440ml, a generous size for a large tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate rather than a small espresso.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go in the dishwasher and the microwave?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
