Description
This stoneware mug is shaped like a little Christmas tree, its three tiered body topped by a lid that sits on like the tree's crown and lifts off by its star. The whole piece is finished in a soft white speckled glaze, scattered with warm tan polka dots that run round every tier and over the lid. A sturdy looped handle sits on one side for a comfortable grip. It stands 15.5cm tall, 15cm wide and 13cm deep, a chunky, characterful mug that sits nicely in the hand on a cold morning.
This is a mug for the festive season, one to bring out each December for hot chocolate, mulled apple juice or the first cup of tea on Christmas morning. With its lid on and its star standing tall, it also sits happily on a kitchen shelf, a dresser or the breakfast table as a small touch of seasonal decoration between cups. The white and tan colouring suits a cosy farmhouse kitchen as easily as a pared back Scandinavian scheme. It makes a cheerful Christmas gift for anyone who loves a festive brew, on its own or tucked into a hamper or a stocking.
Both the mug and its lid are stoneware, with the clay left bare on the rim and on the underside of the lid, a natural touch against the glossy glaze. As good practice for stoneware, we suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it well. Set the lid down with care, as the star is the part most likely to take a knock. For a simple present, fill it with sachets of hot chocolate or a few wrapped sweets and pop the lid back on, or keep it on the shelf ready for the next cold evening.
