Description
This big blue stoneware mug holds roughly a pint of tea or coffee, and it says so plainly on the front. The words BIG MUG are printed in chunky cream capitals with a lightly weathered look, set inside a thin mustard-gold hexagon outline with fine pale blue rays bursting out behind the lettering. The body is a deep, dark blue with a soft matt finish, and the back is left plain. It stands 11cm tall, 13cm wide and 9cm deep, holds 580ml, and has straight sides and a large open handle with room for several fingers.
It is made for anyone who finds an ordinary mug empty after three sips. On the kitchen worktop, the office desk or the bench in the shed, 580ml means fewer trips back to the kettle through a long morning or a busy afternoon. We think it makes a cheerful Father's Day gift, and it suits dads and grandfathers who like their brew hot, strong and plentiful. The wording does the joking for you, so it works as a small present on its own, or alongside a card and a packet of their favourite biscuits.
The mug is stoneware, finished in the same deep blue inside as out, with a smooth rim and a flat base that sits steadily on a desk or coaster. As general good practice for printed stoneware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which helps keep the cream lettering and the blue rays crisp for longer. Its plain back keeps things tidy when it sits on a mug tree or a shelf with the handle turned out. For a gift, fill it with tea bags, hot chocolate sachets or a bag of ground coffee, tie a ribbon around the handle, and it is ready to hand over.
