Description
This speckled stoneware mug is for the mum whose home revolves around a cat, with a black paw print and the words CAT MUM printed on the front. The body is white, flecked all over with small black speckles that carry on round to the handle. It has a gently tapered shape, a little wider at the base than at the rim. It holds 400ml, which leaves plenty of room for a milky coffee or a big mug of tea, and it stands 9.3cm tall, 11.9cm wide and 9.1cm deep. The back is left plain, so the paw print and lettering have the front to themselves.
We think it belongs by the kettle or on the desk, ready for the first cup of the morning or a slow weekend brew with the cat curled up close by. It makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift for a mum who counts her cat as one of the family. It is just as welcome on an ordinary Tuesday as a cheerful nod to who really runs the house. The white and black colouring sits easily with most kitchenware, from plain white crockery to warm wood and natural tones, so it looks at home on the mug tree or the dresser shelf.
The mug is made from stoneware with a speckled finish, and its rounded loop handle is easy to hold whether you are cradling a hot drink or carrying it from room to room. To keep the print and speckles looking their best, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which is good practice for any printed stoneware. As a gift, it needs very little added: tuck a few of her favourite tea bags or a sachet of hot chocolate inside, add a card signed from the cat, and it is ready to hand over.
