Description
This is a small stoneware cup made for children, painted by hand and decorated with a line of dachshunds wearing striped jumpers. The dogs stand out from the surface as raised figures rather than flat prints, so small fingers can trace each long body, drooping ear and upturned tail as the cup turns. It holds 170ml, a child-sized measure for milk, juice or water, and noticeably smaller than an everyday adult mug. At 8cm tall and 8cm across it is compact and round, with a wide loop handle and a cheerful, multicoloured look.
It belongs at a child's place at the breakfast or tea table, where a smaller cup suits smaller servings. Because it goes in the microwave, a little milk can be warmed in the cup itself, and because it goes in the dishwasher, clearing up afterwards is simple. For a dog-loving child it makes a thoughtful birthday or christening gift, one with enough character to become their own cup at every meal. It works just as well in a grandparent's kitchen, kept ready for visits.
Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic that holds heat well, and this cup weighs 0.27KG. Every dachshund is painted by hand, and the whole cup carries a glossy finish. Care is straightforward: it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, but it is not made for the oven, so keep it for drinks rather than baking. Between meals, stand it on an open shelf or hang it from a mug hook with the dogs facing the room, where its multicoloured stripes bring a bright, playful note to a kitchen dresser or a child's bedroom.
