Description
This stoneware mug carries a vintage poster scene of an eight-oared rowing boat cutting across a deep navy river, its yellow-tipped oars fanned out in perfect time. A second boat trails behind, and soft lilac bands of wake sweep across the water. Bold cream lettering reads Boat Race 1923, with Nearest Stations printed over the picture and Putney Bridge, Hammersmith and Chiswick Park along its foot. The print sits on a glossy cream body with a cream interior and a generous loop handle. It stands 8.5cm tall, measures 8.9cm wide and 13cm long, and holds approximately 350ml, a proper full cup of tea or coffee.
We think it earns its place as the mug you reach for every morning, whether it lives by the kettle at home or on a desk at work. The navy and cream colouring sits happily alongside plain white crockery, wooden boards and painted kitchen shelves, and the graphic rowing scene brings a touch of classic poster art to an ordinary tea break. The careful detail in the crew and the clean, confident lettering reward a closer look over a slow cup on a quiet afternoon.
The mug is made from stoneware, a solid material with a reassuring weight in the hand at 0.382KG. It is dishwasher safe and microwave safe, so reheating a forgotten coffee or clearing up after breakfast is no trouble. For everyday care, a rinse after use and a soft brush for any tea stains inside keep it looking its best. Give it a shelf beside your everyday cups, or wrap it with a favourite packet of tea or coffee for a thoughtful present that will be used every day.
