Description
This red porcelain mug carries the Gryffindor house crest in gold, with the lion rearing inside an ornate scrolled frame and the house name on a curling banner above it. Gold starbursts and tiny stars are scattered all the way around, and on the other side the words Bravery, Determination and Courage sweep across the red in the same gold lettering. The rim and the handle are gold as well, so this ornate house mug looks rich in red and gold from every angle. It stands 9cm tall, 9cm deep and 13cm wide, a comfortable everyday size that sits well in the hand.
It is a mug made for daily use as much as for show: a first cup of tea at the kitchen table, a coffee beside you at the desk, or a hot chocolate at the end of a long day. Between brews it earns its place on an open shelf, a dresser or a bookcase, where the gold catches the light and the crest faces out into the room. The three words on the back say plenty about the house it celebrates, and it makes a thoughtful Harry Potter gift that feels chosen with care.
Porcelain gives the mug a smooth, fine body and a glossy red surface, with the gold pattern laid over it in a sketchy, sparkling line that gives each starburst a little texture. The handle is a generous squared loop with room for your fingers, and the wide, straight-sided shape sits steady on a table or desk. To keep the gold rim, handle and pattern bright, we'd wash it by hand in warm soapy water with a soft cloth rather than a scourer, then dry it straight away. When giving it, tuck a few tea bags or a sachet of hot chocolate inside before you wrap it, and it is ready to hand over.
