Description
This pale blue stoneware mug has a little raised snail on its front. The snail has a curled orange shell, a white body and a small smiling face, and it sits just over the words "DADDY you're the best". The word DADDY is printed in bold blue capitals, with the sentiment beneath it in a relaxed dark grey script, so the message reads clearly from across the table. Inside, the glaze is a soft cream that shows off the colour of his tea or coffee. The mug stands 8.5cm tall, 11.5cm wide and 8.5cm deep. It has straight sides that flare gently into a rounded foot, and a generous loop handle.
It holds 290ml, a good everyday measure for a morning tea, an afternoon coffee or a hot chocolate at the end of the day. That makes it a mug he will reach for rather than one that sits on a shelf. We think it makes a warm Father's Day gift, and an easy birthday present for a dad who likes his drink in something with a bit of character. It sits happily in the kitchen cupboard, on a desk at work or beside the armchair, and the little snail brings a smile each time it comes out.
The snail is embossed, so it stands slightly proud of the surface and you can feel its shape under your thumb. The smooth glossy glaze gives the outside an even soft blue finish. For care, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft tea towel. That is good practice for any glazed stoneware and kind to the printed words. For gifting, fill it with his favourite tea bags, a bag of coffee or a few chocolates and add a card, and it is ready to give.
