Description
This white stoneware mug carries Dumbo the little elephant around its sides in a run of happy poses, with a soft grey handle and a grey glaze inside. On one side he soars with his great pink ears spread wide and a tiny mouse riding on his yellow hat; on another he trots along while his small mouse friend leads the way on a line; and near the handle he sits with his trunk raised, a red and yellow ruff around his neck. The artwork wraps the round body in clear, cheerful colour against a gloss white ground. It holds 325ml, a generous cup of tea or coffee, and stands 9.8cm tall and 8.5cm deep, so it sits comfortably in the hand.
It is a mug for everyday use: the first tea of the morning at the kitchen table, a mid-afternoon coffee at a desk or a hot chocolate on the sofa in the evening. The grey handle and inside pick up the soft grey of the elephant himself, so it sits happily alongside plain white or grey crockery as well as brighter pieces on an open shelf. It also makes a cheerful gift, easy to give on its own or with a favourite tea.
The mug is made from stoneware, a sturdy ceramic, with a smooth gloss finish; the artwork sits on the outside, while the inside is plain grey, so your tea or coffee shows its true colour. As good general practice for printed ceramics, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth to keep the colours bright. Hang it on a mug tree with the flying Dumbo facing out, or wrap it with a packet of biscuits for a gift that is ready to use the same afternoon.
