Description
This small ceramic mug is shaped like a gingerbread man, from his iced curls down to his two little feet. He is glazed in a warm light brown, with white piped swirls across his forehead, black dot eyes, a small smiling mouth and a red bow at his neck. Three black buttons run down his front, white icing squiggles trim his arms and feet, and a white handle curves out from his back, with a white glaze inside the cup. It stands 11cm tall, 12cm wide and 8cm deep, a compact size that sits comfortably in two hands.
We think it suits the Christmas season best, brought out for a hot chocolate by the tree, a milky coffee on a frosty morning or a warm drink after a winter walk. Being a smaller mug, it is just right for a cosy cup of cocoa rather than a big brew. It makes a cheerful Christmas gift for anyone who loves the festive season, easy to wrap and fun to unwrap, and it would sit happily in a stocking. Between drinks it can stand on a kitchen shelf, a dresser or a windowsill as a little piece of seasonal decoration.
Made from ceramic with a glossy glaze, the mug has its icing, bow and buttons raised slightly from the surface, which gives the gingerbread man a lovely hand-iced look. His two flat feet form the base, so he stands upright on the table between sips. For care, we suggest washing him gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying him with a soft cloth, as you would any decorated ceramic. Fill him with marshmallows and a sachet of hot chocolate for a ready-made Christmas present, or set him out on the breakfast table each December morning.
