Description
This cheerful red stoneware mug brings Mrs Claus to the breakfast table, her face raised from the glaze in a small embossed portrait with her name printed beneath in neat white capitals. She wears her snowy white hair in a bun tucked with a sprig of green holly and berries, along with round glasses, rosy cheeks and a contented little smile. The outside is a bright, glossy red and the inside a soft cream. The mug stands 8.5cm tall, 11.5cm wide and 8.5cm deep, a comfortable everyday size, and its sides flare gently at the foot, while a generous rounded handle gives your fingers plenty of room.
Through December it makes a cosy companion for morning tea or coffee, an evening hot chocolate or a warming drink by the tree. It sits happily on a festive kitchen shelf, a breakfast tray or a desk at work, where a bright splash of red and a friendly face do a lot to lift a grey winter afternoon. As a Christmas gift it is easy to wrap on its own or tuck into a hamper, and the printed name makes it a playful choice for anyone who loves the season. Once the decorations come down, it carries on as a favourite cup through the colder months.
It is made from stoneware, a dense and sturdy ceramic, and finished in a smooth gloss glaze that gives the red its rich shine. The raised face is picked out in soft colours, so it is worth treating gently: we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth to keep the colours and the white lettering looking fresh. Fill it with sweets, hot chocolate sachets or a few chocolate coins, add a ribbon around the handle, and you have a cheerful Christmas present ready to give.
