Description
This stoneware cup and saucer carries a warm message for someone dear: the cup reads "a very special FRIEND" inside a soft scalloped frame, circled by a meadow of small flowers in coral, lilac, yellow and green. The body is off white, while the inside of the cup, the handle and the short foot are a calm light blue, and the matching saucer carries a scattering of the same flowers with a fine blue line around its rim. The cup holds 300ml, a generous measure for a proper cup of tea or a milky coffee, and the piece stands 10cm tall and 16cm across, so it sits neatly on a tray or a bedside table.
We think it makes a lovely thank-you gift for the friend who always has the kettle on, who listens, and who never forgets to check in. It would also make a thoughtful Mother's Day surprise for a friend who is a mum, a gesture that says how much they mean to you. Once unwrapped, it belongs wherever the best breaks happen: on a kitchen shelf between brews, on a desk for the mid-morning cup, or beside a sunny window for a slow weekend breakfast. The cheerful flowers and soft blue make it just as pleasing to leave on display as it is to use every day.
Both pieces are made from stoneware, with the flowers and the message applied as a decal on the off white body. The rounded cup sits on a short light blue foot that fits into the saucer, and its looped handle gives an easy, comfortable grip. To keep the colours bright, we suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying with a soft cloth. For a fuller gift, tuck a box of their favourite tea or a bag of good coffee alongside it and add a handwritten note.
