Description
This ribbed stoneware mug wears a camouflaged Spitfire on its deep green glaze, drawn from above with its wings spread wide. The plane is printed in muted browns and greens, with red, white and blue roundels on each wing, and the word SPITFIRE sits beneath it in sandy capitals. The body has gentle horizontal ridges that catch the light, and a band of natural, unglazed stoneware runs around the base for a pleasingly rustic finish. It holds 11oz, a proper everyday measure of tea or coffee, and stands 9cm tall, 12cm wide and 9.3cm deep, so it sits comfortably in the hand without crowding the cupboard.
A mug like this earns its place by the kettle or on the desk, where every morning cup becomes a small nod to the famous fighter plane. It makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift, easy to wrap and sure to be used, and it looks just as much at home on a study shelf as it does on a kitchen worktop. The handle is a generous loop with room for your fingers, and the wide, gently tapered body sits steadily on a table, a windowsill or a garden bench while you take a break.
The mug is made from stoneware, with a glossy green glaze over the body, inside and handle, and the natural base band left matt. The Spitfire is printed on one side, so the opposite side shows only the green glaze and its ridges. As general good practice for glazed stoneware with a printed design, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. Wrap it with a favourite tea or a bag of good coffee and you have a ready-made present that will be reached for every day.
