Description
This red stoneware mug carries a cheerful embossed Harry Potter design, with the young wizard drawn in a sweet cartoon style and a white owl perched on his hand, a letter held in its beak. The figure is slightly raised from the surface, so you can feel it under your fingertips, and little white sparkles twinkle on either side. Harry wears his round glasses, black robe, grey jumper and striped tie, with his lightning bolt scar peeping out beneath his fringe. The body is glazed a bright, glossy red with a cream interior, and the back is left plain. It holds 290ml, a good everyday cup of tea or coffee, and stands 8.5cm tall, 12cm wide and 8.5cm deep.
At its compact size it sits happily on a kitchen shelf, an office desk or a bedside table, and it is just right for a hot chocolate on a cold winter evening. We think it makes a cheerful Christmas gift, tucked into a stocking or wrapped up with a favourite tea, and it suits the start of the school year just as well, as a little treat for the first busy mornings of term.
The mug is made from stoneware, a type of ceramic, with a smooth glaze inside and out and a rounded handle that gives a comfortable grip. Its sides run straight before flaring gently at the foot, giving it a broad base to stand on. As general good practice for glazed stoneware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth to keep the colour and design looking bright. Fill it with a bag of chocolate coins or a few tea bags, tie a ribbon round the handle, and you have a ready-made gift for Christmas morning.
