Description
This is a 420ml stoneware mug with a rounded, generous body and a smooth cream surface, decorated with a pair of raised cherries hanging from their stems beneath two leaves. The fruit is modelled in relief, so it stands proud of the surface and catches the light, while a scatter of tiny painted dots fills the space around it. The handle continues the theme: it is shaped like a curving stem, with leaves at the top and a cherry tucked at its base. It measures 10cm across and 9cm tall, and 420ml makes it a properly large mug rather than a dainty cup.
It suits a slow breakfast tea, a large milky coffee or a hot chocolate on a cold afternoon, and the rounded body sits comfortably in two cupped hands. On open kitchen shelving it earns its place between drinks, cherries on show, and on a desk it makes the morning coffee a little brighter. Anyone fond of fruit motifs, vintage-style kitchens or a touch of playfulness at the table will love it, and it makes a cheerful gift for a birthday, a housewarming or a friend who collects mugs.
The mug is made entirely of stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing clay that holds heat well. Its finish is painted by hand, so the brushwork differs slightly from one mug to the next, which is part of the charm. Care is simple: it goes in the dishwasher and in the microwave, handy for warming a coffee that has gone cold, but it is not for the oven. It weighs 0.36KG. For a styling note, give it a spot on an open shelf beside other hand-painted pieces, or set it among plain cream tableware so the cherries take centre stage.
