Description
This porcelain mug carries a dense floral print of white flowers, buds, leafy sprigs and clustered seed heads on a rich blue ground scattered with tiny white dots. The pattern wraps the whole of the straight-sided body, so it looks just as full from either side, and fine dark shading picks out the petals and flower centres. The handle and the inside are plain white, which keeps the blue crisp and makes it easy to judge the strength of your tea. It holds 10oz and stands 10.6cm tall, 11.7cm wide and 7.5cm deep, a comfortable everyday size for a proper cup of tea or coffee.
Blue and white is a classic pairing on the kitchen shelf, and this mug sits happily alongside plain white crockery, striped tableware or the floral pieces you already own. It looks as much at home on a dresser or an open rack as it does on the breakfast table, and the tall, straight shape makes it a good companion for a morning brew at the desk. We think it makes an easy gift to get right for anyone who loves botanical prints and a cottage feel in the kitchen, and it is just as nice to buy for yourself as a small everyday treat.
The mug is made from porcelain with a smooth, glossy surface, and the printed pattern covers the body from just below the rim to just above the base, leaving a slim white edge at top and bottom. To keep the print looking its best, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, avoiding anything abrasive. For a simple present, tuck a few favourite teabags or wrapped sweets inside and tie a ribbon through the handle; at home, keep it by the kettle for the first cup of the day.
