Description
This candy striped ceramic mug wears broad red and white stripes from rim to base, with a glossy red bow tied where the handle meets the rim. The handle is red to match, curving down from the bow in a smooth sweep that echoes the ribbon's trailing tails, and the inside is glazed plain white, which keeps all the attention on the stripes. It stands 10.5cm tall, 9cm wide and 13cm deep, a comfortable size to wrap both hands around on a cold morning.
It is a cheerful mug for the Christmas season, just right for hot chocolate piled with cream, a warming mulled drink or the first cup of tea on Christmas morning. The stripes have the look of a candy cane or an old-fashioned sweet shop, so it sits happily on a festive breakfast table, on a kitchen shelf beside other seasonal pieces, or on a desk where a little colour is welcome through December. As a Christmas gift it needs little more than a ribbon of its own, and it makes a fun centrepiece for a hamper with a packet of cocoa and a bag of marshmallows.
The mug is ceramic, with a high-gloss glaze over the stripes, the bow and the handle that gives the red a bright, clean shine. The bow stands out in relief from the side, so it is worth a little care when washing up and putting away. As good practice for decorated ceramics, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth to keep the glaze looking its best. For a festive table, set it at each place with a striped paper straw and a candy cane hooked over the rim, or fill it with sweets, wrap it in clear cellophane and tie it with red ribbon for a Christmas present that is ready to give.
