Floral Print Porcelain Mug 10oz with Cream Handle - Green

This porcelain mug is covered all the way round in a cheerful floral print: pink, purple, red and cream blooms, sprays of pale blue daisies and fine leafy stems, scattered over a green ground and dotted with tiny red buds. The handle, the inside and the slim rim are plain cream, which lets the flowers do the talking and keeps your tea or coffee looking just as it should. It holds 10oz, a good everyday measure for a morning brew, and stands 10.6cm tall, 11.7cm wide and 7.5cm deep, with straight sides that sit neatly in the hand.

We think it belongs close to the kettle in a country or cottage kitchen, on the breakfast table beside the teapot, or on your desk to bring a little garden colour to a long working day. The pattern is busy enough to brighten a shelf of plain white crockery yet soft enough to sit happily alongside other florals, so it works as a favourite mug of its own or as a cheerful odd one out among a mix of mugs. Because the flowers run right round the body, it looks just as pretty whichever way the handle faces, for left and right-handed drinkers alike.

It is made of porcelain, a fine ceramic, with a smooth, glossy glaze over the print and around the cream handle. As good practice for glazed porcelain, we suggest washing it in warm soapy water with a soft cloth or sponge and skipping abrasive scourers, which can dull a printed finish over time, then drying it with a soft tea towel before it goes back on the shelf. As a gift, it pairs nicely with a packet of loose-leaf tea or a bag of good coffee, and on its own it makes an easy, cheerful way to show you were thinking of someone.
