Description
This stoneware mug carries the Best in Show design, a parade of dog breeds drawn all the way round on a soft blue-grey ground. A French bulldog in a red collar, a dachshund mid-leap, a curly poodle, a pug in a spotted neckerchief, a westie in a red bandana and a greyhound in a striped jumper are a few of the faces, so every turn of the mug shows someone new. The inside and the rounded loop handle are glazed in clean white, which frames the print neatly. It holds 350ml, measures 9cm across and 12.5cm long with the handle, and weighs 355 grams.
That 350ml holds a proper mug of tea or a generous coffee without constant refills, so it earns its place on the kitchen shelf as an everyday favourite. The straight sides and flat base sit steadily on a desk at work, beside the bed for a morning cup or on a garden table. Its compact 9cm width sits comfortably in two hands, and the handle is a good open loop for an easy hold. Because the dogs run right round, the mug looks just as good on a mug tree or an open shelf as it does in use, and it sits happily alongside plain white crockery or brighter prints.
Made from stoneware with a smooth glaze, the mug is dishwasher safe, so it can go in with the rest of the washing up. A rinse straight after use keeps tea stains from settling on the white inside, and a soft cloth with warm soapy water works well if you prefer to wash by hand. To give it, add a box of good tea or a bag of fresh coffee and tie a ribbon round the handle for a cheerful present that is ready to use from the first morning.
