Description
This glazed stoneware mug carries a simple, cheerful message for anyone who loves where they live. Across the front, in a mix of flowing script and neat capitals, it reads 'this is our HAPPY place', with a small leafy sprig on either side of the words. Beneath them runs a row of little line-drawn houses, each with its own pitched roof, windows and door, and a few dressed with trailing leaves or a sprig on the rooftop. The glaze is a soft brown, and the drawings are picked out in a fine darker line that keeps the whole design gentle and easy on the eye. The mug stands 7.5cm tall and measures 12cm wide and 9cm deep, with a rounded loop handle that curls neatly at each end.
It is the kind of mug that earns a place by the kettle or on an open kitchen shelf, ready for the first cup of tea of the day or a mid-morning coffee at the desk. Its words and its little street of houses make it a thoughtful new home gift, a warm way to mark the day the keys change hands and the boxes start to be unpacked. We like it tucked into a housewarming hamper with a bag of good coffee, or simply wrapped on its own with a card.
Made from stoneware with a glazed finish, it has a smooth, glossy surface that sits comfortably in the hand. As good practice for glazed stoneware with a printed design, we would suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which helps keep the lettering and the little houses crisp. Give it pride of place at the front of the cupboard, or set it on a sunny windowsill beside a favourite plant, so its happy message greets you each morning.
