Description
This glazed ceramic mug is drawn with a single elephant, its tusks curving and its trunk raised towards the handle, in fine pale lines against a soft grey body. It is a wax resistant mug, and the elephant reads clearly in pale cream, with every wrinkle of its skin and fold of its ears picked out in close line work. A matching pale band runs around the base, framing the drawing and giving the whole piece an earthy, grounded look. The mug stands 9.2cm tall, 8.8cm wide and 11.6cm deep, a straight-sided everyday size that fits comfortably in the hand, and its loop handle leaves room for your fingers.
We like it as the mug you reach for first thing, filled with tea or coffee at the kitchen table, or set beside the keyboard on a home office desk to see you through the afternoon. The grey glaze and pale cream lines sit happily in a kitchen of natural wood and soft neutrals, and the elephant brings a quiet touch of the wild to a row of plainer mugs on an open shelf or dresser. It is just as much at home in a study, a cabin-style kitchen or a sunny breakfast nook, wherever a simple, well-drawn piece earns its place in the daily routine.
The mug is made of ceramic with a glazed finish over the grey body, while the elephant lines and the band at the base stay pale. As good practice for glazed ceramic, wash it by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth, and avoid scouring pads that could dull the glaze. For a thoughtful gift, it needs nothing more than tissue paper and a bag of good tea or coffee tucked inside, and on the shelf it pairs well with plain grey or cream mugs.
