Camilla Floral Stoneware Mugs 430ml Set of 2 - Cream

This is a pair of hand-painted stoneware mugs in cream, each holding 430ml. That is a generous mug size, roomy enough for a large tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate on a cold afternoon. Each mug in the pair carries its own painted flower: one has a broad leaf and drooping bell-shaped blooms, the other a tulip-like flower beside a small star-shaped bloom. A fine speckle runs through the cream glaze, and the walls have a softly uneven surface that catches the light. Each mug is 10cm across and 9cm tall, a low, slightly tapered shape with an open loop handle topped by a small painted bud.

These are mugs for every day rather than for the back of the cupboard. They suit the breakfast table, a morning coffee at the kitchen counter or a pot of tea shared at the weekend, and as a pair they work well for two people in one household. The two designs differ but belong together, so they also make a thoughtful gift for a new home, a friend who likes flowers or anyone setting up a first kitchen. Between uses they are pretty enough to leave out on an open shelf or a dresser, where the painted flowers can be seen.

Each mug is 100% stoneware, finished with a reactive glaze and painted by hand. Stoneware is fired hard and dense, which makes it sturdy for daily use and good at holding heat. A reactive glaze shifts as it fires, and no two hand-painted pieces come out quite alike, so small differences from piece to piece are part of their character. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they can go in the oven too. For styling, hang them from hooks under a shelf or set them beside plain tableware and wooden boards, so the flowers carry the look.
