Description
This porcelain mug carries the words HAPPILY retired in gold lettering across a soft matt pink body, a cheerful way to raise a cup to the end of working life. The outside is smooth and matt. The inside is a creamy white scattered with tiny dots in pink, peach, blue and grey, a small surprise each time it is lifted to drink. A chunky round ring handle stands out from one side, wide enough to hook a finger through and comfortable to hold. The mug is 8.5cm tall, 15cm wide and 9cm deep, a neat, easy size for a daily cup of tea or coffee.
Retirement is what this mug is all about, and it makes a thoughtful retirement gift for anyone leaving work behind. Hand it over at a leaving do alongside a card, or tuck it into a hamper with a favourite tea, a packet of biscuits and a good book for those slower mornings. Once the party is over, it earns a place in the kitchen cupboard, on a desk at home or beside a favourite armchair, where the pink and gold bring a bright note to every brew. The words sit on one face only, and the reverse is left plain pink for a clean, simple look.
The body is porcelain, a type of ceramic, and the matt pink outside sets off both the smooth glazed interior and the bright gold words. To keep the lettering and the matt finish looking their best, we suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. Wrap it in tissue paper with a pink or gold ribbon and it is ready to give on that last day at work, or keep it for yourself and enjoy the first cup of a well-deserved retirement.
