Description
This stoneware mug carries a heartfelt verse for a friend, set between sprays of watercolour wildflowers on a soft cream glaze. The word "Friend" is written in a flowing script across the front, and beneath it the lines read: "If I had a flower for every time you made me SMILE I'd have a GARDEN to walk in.." The peach handle and peach rim pick up the peach flowers in the artwork, while the back is covered in a meadow of blooms in peach, blue, lilac and soft yellow, with a little bee among them. Just inside the rim sits a small surprise: the words "You're the loveliest", read every time it is filled. It stands 7.5cm tall, 8cm deep and holds 300ml.
With 300ml to fill, it holds a proper cup of tea or a good-sized coffee, so it suits the morning brew at the kitchen table, a slow cup on a Sunday afternoon, or a desk where a friendly word helps the working day along. It is a gift for a friend: the person who has made you smile more times than you could count, and who deserves to hear it. It makes a lovely thank you, a just-because surprise or a little something to send with a card when you are miles apart.
The mug is made from stoneware, a sturdy ceramic with a smooth glaze, and its rounded handle gives a comfortable grip. Its low, wide shape sits steadily on a tray or a shelf, and the cream body keeps the colours of the flowers fresh and bright. To keep the artwork looking its best, we'd suggest washing it gently by hand with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. For a gift, fill it with their favourite teabags or a few wrapped chocolates and tie a ribbon round the handle; it is a small present that says a great deal.
