Description
This stoneware mug carries a sweet illustrated scene and a few kind words for the cousin who always makes you smile. Two figures walk hand in hand across the front, one holding a pink heart balloon, beneath a pale blue cloud and a scatter of gold and grey stars and tiny hearts, with small flowers at their feet. Beside them the word Cousin is written in gold script over a soft blue brushstroke, followed by 'because of you I smile more' in neat dark lettering. Along the handle, a second line reads 'cousin and friend'. The body is white with a glossy finish, and touches of blue in the cloud and brushstroke give it a gentle, airy look.
It holds 350ml, which makes a generous mug of tea or coffee, and at 8.5cm tall, 13cm wide and 12cm deep it sits comfortably on a desk, a kitchen shelf or a bedside table. The rounded body tapers gently towards the rim and the handle is wide enough for an easy grip. We think it makes a thoughtful gift for a friend, and its words make it just right for a cousin who is a friend as well, whether you live round the corner or a long way apart.
The mug is made from stoneware with a smooth glossy finish, and the decoration sits on the outside, leaving the inside plain. As good practice for decorated stoneware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water with a soft cloth and drying it straight away, which helps keep the gold detail bright. For a gift, fill it with a favourite tea, a few hot chocolate sachets or some sweets, and add a card of your own. It is a simple, personal way to tell a cousin how much they make you smile.
