Description
This glazed stoneware mug carries one of the kindest lines we know for a dad: a DAD is someone YOU LOOK UP TO no matter how TALL you GROW. The words are set in a mix of neat capitals and loose, flowing script beside a simple line drawing of a tall, narrow house with a little sprouting leaf on its roof, all printed in a soft grey-green on a white glaze. It is a low, wide shape with a rounded handle that curls out at the top and bottom, so it sits comfortably in the hand. It holds 290ml, a good cup of tea or coffee, and stands 7.5cm tall, 12cm wide and 9cm deep.
We see this as a Father's Day gift first and foremost, the sort of thing a son or daughter can hand over knowing the words say exactly what they mean. It suits the dad who starts every morning with a brew at the kitchen table, keeps a mug on his desk at work or likes something warm in his favourite chair of an evening. Because the message works just as well from a grown-up child as from a young one, it makes a lovely choice whether you are buying for your own dad or helping little ones pick something out for theirs.
The mug is made from stoneware with a smooth glaze that gives the white a gentle sheen behind the grey-green lettering. To keep the print looking its best, we would suggest washing it by hand in warm, soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. For gifting, tuck a few of his favourite teabags or a bag of good coffee inside, tie a ribbon around the handle and it is ready to give on Father's Day morning.
