Description
This gardener's mug takes the shape of a little flowerpot, with a gently tapered base below a deeper band around the rim, all in a soft purple glaze. It is made from ceramic and carries the words "Forget me not" in a flowing pale script, with a small flower printed beside them, so it reads like a pot waiting for its first seedling. Inside, the glaze is a pale cream, which makes it easy to see the strength of your tea or coffee. It stands 10.6cm tall, 8.1cm wide and 10.2cm deep, a comfortable everyday size, and the rounded loop handle leaves room for your fingers.
We like this cheerful mug by the back door for a break between jobs in the garden, or on the kitchen shelf for the first brew of the morning. The flowerpot shape and the old cottage-garden flower name suit a potting shed, a greenhouse bench or a conservatory windowsill, and the purple sits happily beside greens, creams and natural wood. On a breakfast table or a desk it adds a small, friendly note of colour without fuss, and it looks just as good on a tray beside the teapot when friends call round.
The body is ceramic with a glazed finish, glossy purple outside and cream within, and the lettering and flower sit on the lower half like a label on a plant pot. To keep it looking its best, wash it by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth, and skip scouring pads, which can dull a glaze over time. With its gentle reminder printed on the side, it makes a thoughtful little present on its own, or you could wrap it with a packet of seeds tucked inside for a gift that feels ready to grow.
