Description
This embossed ceramic mug takes the form of a cabbage, with overlapping leaves rising around the cup and opening into a softly wavy rim. Every leaf carries raised veins and a lightly dimpled texture, so the surface catches the light much as a real cabbage leaf does. The whole piece, handle included, is glazed in one fresh shade of leaf green, smooth and glossy in the hand. It stands 9.3cm tall, 10.2cm across and 12.8cm deep, a compact, rounded shape that sits comfortably cupped between two palms.
We think it belongs wherever the first cup of tea or coffee of the day happens: the kitchen table, a breakfast tray, a desk by the window. Its rounded body and generous loop handle make it an easy everyday mug, and the green leaves bring a cheerful touch of the vegetable patch indoors all year round. It suits a dresser or open shelf of characterful pottery too, where the leaf pattern sits happily beside plain white china and other botanical pieces. Between brews, it makes a handy pot for pens and pencils on a desk, or for a few sprigs of cut herbs in water on the windowsill.
The mug is made from ceramic with a glazed finish, which gives the leaves their sheen and keeps the embossed detail crisp and clear. The pattern is raised in the surface itself, so it is something you can feel under your fingers as well as see. To keep the glaze looking its best, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, as you would any decorated ceramic. It looks just as good hung from a hook beneath a kitchen shelf as it does set on a tray beside the teapot, ready for the next cup.
