Description
Begonia is a generous stoneware mug, hand painted with soft pink stripes in a runny glaze that lets each band blur gently at its edges. It holds 440ml, a proper big-mug size with room for a large tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate. It stands 11cm tall and 9cm across, its body tapering gently towards the rim, and the walls carry slight ripples that catch the light. A wide loop handle takes your fingers comfortably.
This is an everyday mug for the kitchen, the breakfast table or the desk, and the pink stripes bring a cheerful note to the first drink of the morning. Its size suits anyone who prefers a long, slow cup of tea or coffee to a quick one, and it sits happily beside plainer stoneware on an open shelf or a dresser. It also makes an easy gift for a tea lover, a friend in a new home or a birthday, wrapped on its own or paired with a favourite blend.
The mug is 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic that holds heat well, and at 0.4KG it has a reassuring weight in the hand. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher, in the microwave for warming a drink that has gone cold, and in the oven. Because the stripes are painted by hand, their width and edges vary a little from one mug to the next, so each has its own character. The styling props shown are not included. To style it, hang it from a hook rail by the kettle, or line two up on a shelf beside a stack of plain linen napkins and let the stripes bring the colour.

It holds 440ml, a generous size for a large tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate, and it stands 11cm tall and 9cm across.
Can it go in the dishwasher and the microwave?
Yes. The maker lists it as dishwasher safe, microwave safe and oven safe, so it can be washed by machine and used to warm a drink.
What material is the Begonia mug?
It is 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic that holds heat well, and the mug weighs 0.4KG, so it feels solid in the hand.
Are the stripes painted by hand?
Yes. The pink stripes are handpainted in a runny glaze, so their edges soften and each mug varies a little from the next.
Does it come with anything else?
The mug comes on its own, and the styling props shown are not included, so what arrives is the pink striped stoneware mug only.
