Grandma Robin and Berry Sprig Stoneware Mug 400ml - White

This stoneware mug carries a plump little robin, its red breast and its blue and brown feathers drawn in soft watercolour tones, standing beside a sprig of red berries and green leaves. The design sits on a smooth white finish that lets the bird do all the talking, and the mug itself has straight sides, a gently rounded foot at the base and a generous loop handle with room for your fingers. It stands 10cm tall, 14cm wide and 9cm deep, and holds 400ml, so there is plenty of space for a proper mug of tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate filled to the brim.

It makes a cheerful Christmas mug for the cold months, the kind you reach for first on a frosty morning or after a walk in the winter air. The robin sits happily in a country kitchen, on a festive breakfast table or on a tray by the fire, and it looks just as at home on the shelf once the decorations come down. It is also a thoughtful Mother's Day gift, a warm nod to the garden bird so many of us watch for at the feeder. Fill it with tea bags, a bar of chocolate or a few sweets and it becomes a present that is ready to wrap.

Made from stoneware, it is a solid everyday mug rather than one to keep for best, and the robin stands out bright and clear against the white. To look after the design, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. For a festive gift, tuck it into a hamper with a box of favourite tea and a handwritten card, or set it out with a plate of mince pies when friends call round, and the little robin will keep you company on every cold morning until spring.
