{"product_id":"happy-as-a-pig-in-printed-earthenware-mug-300ml-white","title":"\"Happy as a Pig in...\" Printed Earthenware Mug 300ml - White","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis white earthenware mug carries a cheerful illustrated pig, standing on a patch of mud with a wide grin, big pink ears and muddy trotters, beside the words \"happy as a pig in...\" in a loose, friendly script. We love the way the caption trails off and leaves the punchline to whoever is holding the cup. Inside, the glaze is a soft pink that picks up the colour of the pig, and the gently rounded body narrows towards the base so it sits comfortably in the hand. It holds 300ml, a proper cup of tea or coffee, and stands 9cm tall and 9cm from front to back, a neat size for a kitchen cupboard shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the mug that ends up at the front of the cupboard: the first tea of the morning, a coffee at the desk, a hot chocolate on a cold evening. The farmyard illustration feels at home in a country kitchen or on a dresser shelf alongside other country pottery, and it brings a little humour to a busy office or a staff room where everyone has their own cup. The pig is drawn with such good nature that the joke lands as warm rather than daft, and the unfinished caption tends to start a conversation over the kettle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mug is made from earthenware, a type of ceramic, with a smooth glossy glaze over the white body and the pink interior, and a large open handle with plenty of room for your fingers. As good practice for glazed earthenware, wash it by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth, which helps keep the print looking its best. Give it pride of place on the mug hooks, or wrap it with a box of good teabags or a bag of fresh coffee for a small, cheerful gift that will be used every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarthenware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.351kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the pig mug hold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt holds 300ml, which is a proper cup of tea or coffee without being too heavy to hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the mug made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made from earthenware, a type of ceramic, with a smooth glossy glaze over a white body and a soft pink interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the writing on the mug say?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt reads \"happy as a pig in...\" in a friendly black script beside an illustrated pig standing happily in a patch of mud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the mug?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stands 9cm tall and measures 9cm from front to back, so it sits neatly on most kitchen cupboard shelves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I look after the mug?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs good practice for glazed earthenware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWould this mug make a good gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, it makes a cheerful small gift on its own, or wrapped with a box of teabags or a bag of good coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Country Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53458909528331,"sku":"CL1527","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/cl1527_01.jpg?v=1792256800","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/happy-as-a-pig-in-printed-earthenware-mug-300ml-white","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
