Description
This stoneware mug wears its sense of humour on the outside, with the words I LOOK QUITE PRETTY AFTER MY COFFEE printed around its lower edge. The main design is an illustrated portrait of a young woman in a navy peaked cap and dark jacket, her hair tied back and her lips painted red, set inside a soft pink circle. The portrait appears on both sides, so it faces you whichever hand you hold it in. Black and white film strips curl around her against a pale pink ground, scattered with red, green, white and gold stars, with a gold award ribbon just above her cap. The handle and the inside are a bright, glossy red. It holds 11oz and stands 9.8cm tall, 12cm wide and 8.5cm deep.
It is a mug for the first cup of the day, the one that comes before conversation. At 11oz it holds a proper mug of coffee or a generous builder's tea, enough to see you through the morning emails or a slow start at the kitchen table. On a desk at work it raises a smile from whoever passes, and at home it brings a splash of colour to the mug shelf, the red handle picking up the stars in the print. It makes a cheerful gift, the sort of present that gets used every day rather than put away in a cupboard.
The mug is made from stoneware with a gloss finish, which gives the print a bright, clean look and makes the red inside a cheerful sight first thing. The handle is a generous loop with room for your fingers. To keep the design looking its best, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. Wrap it up with a bag of favourite beans for a present that is ready to use.
