Description
Gina is a set of four stoneware Christmas mugs, each painted by hand to look like a little gingerbread house. Arched windows with tiny panes, a front door hung with a wreath, piped scrolls along the roofline and a row of dots at the base run round the brown body, finished with a plain band at the rim and a plain handle. Each mug holds 250ml and measures 7.5cm across and 7.5cm tall: a compact, true mug size for a proper cup of tea, a coffee or a hot chocolate, without being an oversized bucket of a cup.
These are mugs for the weeks around Christmas: coffee while the presents are wrapped, tea with a mince pie in the afternoon, hot chocolate after a cold walk. With four in the set, they suit a couple with friends dropping in, a family round the kitchen table or a festive breakfast tray on Christmas morning. They also make a warm present for someone who loves the season, and when January comes they put away together in a cupboard until next year. Stoneware holds heat well, which is just what you want from a winter mug.
The decoration is hand painted, and hand painting is never perfectly uniform, so expect the lines and dots to vary a little from one mug to the next. Care is easy: they go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they can go in the oven too, so a mug can double as a dish for a single baked pudding. The styling props shown are not included. For the table, line all four up on a wooden board or a dresser shelf, where the little houses read like a street of cottages.

Frequently Asked
What are the Gina mugs made of?
They are made of 100% stoneware, with a hand-painted gingerbread house design running round the outside of each mug.
How much does each mug hold?
Each mug holds 250ml and measures 7.5cm across and 7.5cm tall, a good everyday size for tea, coffee or hot chocolate.
Can they go in the dishwasher and the microwave?
Yes. The maker states they can go in both the dishwasher and the microwave, and they can go in the oven as well.
How many mugs do I get?
You receive four mugs, all in the same gingerbread house design, so there is one each for a family of four or a small gathering.
Will every mug look exactly the same?
Not quite. The decoration is painted by hand, so small differences in the lines and dots from one mug to the next are normal for this kind of finish.
