Description
This ceramic mug carries a dachshund in fine black illustration on one side and a short tribute to the breed on the other. The front shows the dog's head and shoulders in profile, with the word dachshund printed over its head like a dictionary entry: "dachshund [daks - hund] noun". Turn the mug round and the back reads as a little character sketch. It calls these dogs small in stature with a big personality, intelligent, fearless and a touch stubborn, before admitting they can be won over with a belly rub. The body is white with a glazed finish, the handle and rim are black, and the inside is black too. It holds 11oz and stands 9.8cm tall and 8.5cm deep.
It is a mug for the daily round: the first tea of the morning in the kitchen, a coffee beside the laptop in a home office, or a hot chocolate on a slow Sunday afternoon. The black and white print sits happily with most kitchenware, so it will not clash with plain white crockery or darker stoneware on the shelf. With the illustration on one side and the words on the other, there is always something to look at while the kettle boils. The black inside gives a crisp contrast against milky tea.
The mug is ceramic with a glazed finish, and the print is in black on the white body, matching the black handle and rim. For care, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water with a soft cloth and drying it straight away, which is simple good practice for any printed glazed ceramic. Hang it on a mug tree with the dachshund facing out, or set it on an open shelf with the words turned to the room. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a cheerful gift that is easy to post or tuck into a bag.
