Description
Our Cherish mug is a pink stoneware mug painted by hand, with lighter vertical stripes running from rim to base and raised lettering on both sides: MOM on one face and LOVE on the other. The letters stand proud of the surface and are picked out in the same shade as the rounded loop handle, so they stand out against the stripes. It holds 325ml, which makes it a full-sized everyday mug for tea, coffee or hot chocolate rather than a small cup, and it measures 8cm across and 9cm tall. One thing worth knowing: it reads MOM, the American spelling, rather than MUM.
With that lettering it makes an obvious gift for a mother, whether for Mother's Day or a birthday, and the LOVE side means it works just as well as a mug for anyone dear. In the kitchen it suits the first tea of the morning at the breakfast table, and at a desk it is the right size for a proper mid-afternoon coffee. Because it can go in the oven as well as the microwave, it also takes a single-portion bake such as a mug cake. Its straight sides and round shape sit neatly on an open shelf or a mug tree between uses.
Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic. This one is finished with a glossy surface over hand-painted stripes that keep the slightly uneven line of a brush, so the pattern reads as painted rather than printed. Care is simple, because it goes in the dishwasher with the rest of the crockery. It weighs 0.34KG. The styling props shown are not included. For styling, turn the LOVE side outward for everyday and the MOM side outward on the day itself, and pair it with plain tableware so the stripes and lettering hold the eye.
