Description
This porcelain mug tells Cinderella's story in soft, pencil-style sketches, drawn in fine grey lines on a glossy white body and finished with a gold rim and a gold handle. On one side she gathers up her ball gown and walks ahead of the round coach and its horses. On the other she lifts her skirts as she steps out, beside a third sketch of her in her gown. Her name runs across the side in flowing gold script. Right at the bottom inside, the words 'At the stroke of midnight.....' come into view as you reach the last sip. The mug is round with straight sides and stands 8cm tall, 11.5cm wide and 9cm deep.
It makes a thoughtful gift for a young Cinderella fan aged 3 to 12. It is the sort of mug that quickly becomes their own, for warm milk at breakfast or a hot chocolate on a winter evening. Between drinks it looks lovely on a bedroom shelf or a kitchen dresser, where the gold catches the light and the sketches can be enjoyed up close. At 8cm tall it is a comfortable size for smaller hands, and the large looped handle is easy to hold.
The body is porcelain with a smooth gloss glaze, which keeps the grey linework crisp and the white clean. The gold on the rim and handle gives it a special-occasion feel for everyday use. As with any china carrying metallic detail, we suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water, drying it with a soft cloth and keeping it out of the microwave, so the gold stays bright. Wrapped up with a favourite storybook or a tin of hot chocolate, it makes a lovely present that will be kept long after the drink is gone.
