Bethany Stoneware Mugs 225ml Set of 4 - Cream

These are stoneware mugs in a soft cream, sold as a set of four. Each holds 225ml, a comfortable everyday measure for tea or coffee that never feels oversized, and stands 9cm across and 10cm tall. A trailing leaf and scroll motif sweeps up one face towards a small bud-shaped flourish, faint rings run around the straight sides, and a darker glazed rim and looped handle frame the cream body. It is a mug that looks quietly decorated rather than busy.

Four matching mugs make an easy start for a first home or a welcome refresh for a tired cupboard: enough for a morning round of tea, coffee shared at the weekend or a hot chocolate on a cold evening. They suit the kitchen table and the desk alike, and the cream ground sits comfortably beside plain white plates, pale wood and linen. They also earn their place on open shelving or in a glazed dresser, where the leaf motif turns a row of everyday mugs into something worth keeping in view. As a housewarming present they feel generous without being fussy.

Each mug is made of stoneware and finished in a reactive glaze. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, and a reactive glaze moves as it fires, so the shading at the rim and across the motif varies a little from mug to mug; that variation is part of the character, not a fault. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so reheating a forgotten coffee is no trouble and washing up after breakfast takes no thought. For styling, hang the four from hooks under a shelf or group them on a tray by the kettle, and let a plain linen napkin pick out the cream.

What size are the mugs and how much does each one hold?

Each mug holds 225ml and measures 9cm across and 10cm tall, a comfortable everyday size for tea or coffee.

Can they go in the dishwasher and the microwave?

Yes. The maker states they can go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so everyday care is straightforward.

How many mugs come in the set?

You receive four matching mugs, each in cream stoneware with the same trailing leaf and scroll motif and looped handle.

What material are these mugs?

They are 100% stoneware, a dense and hard-wearing ceramic, and each one is finished in a reactive glaze.

Will all four mugs look exactly alike?

Not quite. A reactive glaze shifts as it fires, so the shading at the rim and across the motif can differ slightly between mugs.
