Description

This stoneware mug says something kind every time it comes out of the cupboard. Across the side, in neat capitals, it reads "Friends are the family we choose", with the final word written in a looser, handwritten style. Beneath the words runs a border of fine line-drawn wildflowers, slender stems, leaves and little daisies in a soft grey, set against a glazed white body. The shape is short and wide, standing 7.5cm tall, 12cm wide and 9cm deep, with a rounded handle finished in small curls where it meets the body. It holds 290ml, a comfortable measure for a cup of tea or a milky coffee.

We think it suits the spots where a hot drink gets made and enjoyed most: the kitchen counter, a desk at home, or a bedside table on a slow morning. The low, steady shape feels settled in the hand and on a surface, and 290ml suits anyone who likes a proper cup of tea rather than an oversized mug. It makes a thoughtful gift for a friend, whether that is someone you have known since school or a newer friend who has become one of your people. The words say plainly what can be hard to say out loud, so it works as a small surprise on its own or as the heart of a little care parcel.

The mug is made from stoneware with a smooth glazed finish, and the white glaze gives the grey line drawings and lettering a clean, fresh background. To keep the print looking its best, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, as is good practice for decorated stoneware. For a finishing touch, tuck a few favourite teabags or a bar of chocolate inside before you wrap it, and add a note of your own to go with the words on the side.
