Floki Striped Stoneware Mugs 280ml Set of 4 - Green

This is a set of four handpainted stoneware mugs, each holding 280ml, which makes them proper everyday mugs for tea or coffee rather than small cups. Two carry broad vertical green stripes and two carry large green blocks laid out like a chequerboard, so the four look deliberately mixed when they are out together. Each mug is 9.5cm across and 8cm tall, with a body that widens gently towards a broad base, giving a low, grounded shape with plenty of room for both hands. The inside is green too.

They belong in the kitchen and at the breakfast table first: a morning coffee, a pot of tea shared at the weekend, a hot chocolate on a cold evening. A set of four covers a small household or a table laid for guests, and mixing the two patterns gives a relaxed, hand-made look rather than a matched, formal one. Between uses they bring colour to an open shelf or a dresser, and they make a generous housewarming gift. The green sits comfortably beside natural wood, linen and plain crockery, so they fit a farmhouse kitchen as easily as a modern flat.

Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing clay that holds heat well, and these mugs are 100% stoneware. The pattern is painted by hand, and the brush strokes stay visible in the green, which gives each mug its own slightly irregular character. Care is simple: they go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they can go in the oven too, so reheating a forgotten coffee takes no planning. Hang the four from hooks under a kitchen shelf, alternating stripes and blocks, or keep them on a tray beside the kettle where the pattern stays on show.

How much do these mugs hold?

Each mug holds 280ml, a comfortable everyday size for a cup of tea, a coffee or a hot chocolate.

Can they go in the dishwasher and microwave?

Yes. They go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they can go in the oven as well, so everyday care is easy.

What size are the mugs?

Each mug is 9.5cm across and 8cm tall, with a body that widens towards the base, so it is low and wide rather than tall and narrow.

What is included?

You receive four mugs: two with broad vertical stripes and two with large blocks. The styling props shown are not included.

What material are the mugs?

They are 100% stoneware, handpainted in green. Stoneware is a dense clay that holds heat well and stands up to daily use.

Is each mug painted by hand?

Yes, the finish is handpainted, so the brush strokes show in the green and the edges of the stripes and blocks are a little softer than a printed line.
