Description
This embossed stoneware mug brings a cheerful face to the Christmas table, with a raised Santa Claus head standing proud of its soft green glaze. Santa wears a red hat with a white bobble, a sprig of holly with red berries tucked at his side, and a scalloped beard beneath rosy cheeks and a small smile. Under him the words SANTA CLAUS are printed in red capitals, with 'is coming to town' in a grey handwritten script, and the same design sits on each side of the mug. Inside, the glaze is a pale cream. It stands 8.5cm tall, 11.5cm wide and 8.5cm deep, a comfortable everyday size.
This is a mug for the whole festive season, from the first frosty December morning to a slow Boxing Day breakfast. Fill it with hot chocolate while the tree goes up, keep it by the kettle through the holidays, or set it out with a mince pie on Christmas Eve. The gentle green sits as happily in a calm country kitchen as it does beside red and gold decorations, and the smiling Santa brings a little seasonal cheer to the office desk too. As a Christmas gift it fits neatly into a stocking, a secret Santa swap or a hamper of festive treats.
The mug is made from stoneware, a dense ceramic, finished in a smooth glaze with a gently flared foot and a rounded loop handle that leaves room for your fingers. The Santa face is raised from the surface, so you can feel the hat, holly and beard under your thumb. As good practice for a decorated mug, wash it in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth to keep the colours and lettering at their best. We like to tuck a few candy canes inside before wrapping it, so it is ready for the first festive cup.
