Description
This glazed stoneware mug carries a simple, heartfelt message for the friend who has been there through it all. The words FRIENDS for life sit across the front, the first word in neat spaced capitals and the rest in a relaxed handwritten script, above a fine-line sprig of leaves and small flowers. The glaze is a soft brown, warm and gentle rather than dark, and it covers the inside as well as the outside for a clean, even finish. The body is round with straight sides, and the curled loop handle ends in small scrolls top and bottom for a little charm and a comfortable hold. It stands 7.5cm tall, 12cm wide and 9cm deep, and holds 290ml.
That 290ml holds a proper cup of tea or a milky coffee without being oversized, so it suits a morning brew by the bed, a cosy cuppa at the kitchen table or a mid-afternoon break at the desk. We think it makes a thoughtful gift for a friend, whether that is a best friend, a friend who lives miles away or the one who always knows when to put the kettle on. It is a small present that says a great deal, and it sits happily on its own or alongside a favourite tea or coffee.
Made from stoneware with a smooth glazed finish, the mug sits steadily on its flat base. For care, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth to keep the glaze and the printed words looking their best. The soft brown sits comfortably with natural wood, linen and cream kitchens, and it looks lovely on an open shelf between cups of tea. If you are giving it, tuck a handwritten note inside or fill it with a few sweet treats for a friend who deserves to know how much they mean.
