Description
This sculpted stoneware mug is shaped as Hedwig, the snowy owl from Harry Potter, with a little letter held in her beak as if she has just flown in with the post. The body of the mug is the owl herself, finished in a glossy white with round dark eyes, a small brown beak and a pale grey envelope raised across her chest. Fine grey lines trace her wings, which are dotted with grey speckles, and a row of chunky grey toes sits at the base. Turn her round and the back is plain white, with her wings carried on in gentle relief. She stands 10cm tall, 13cm wide and 13cm deep, a rounded, comfortable size to cradle in both hands.
Hedwig is a cheerful companion for a morning tea or an evening hot chocolate, and between brews she brings a little character to a kitchen shelf or a desk. She makes a lovely Christmas gift, easy to wrap and a happy sight on Christmas morning. She suits back to school time just as well, a warm send off for the new term with an owl who knows all about letters and the start of the school year. On a study desk she can double as a pot for pens and pencils when she is not needed for a drink.
She is made from stoneware, a dense ceramic, with a smooth glaze over the body and a generous loop handle on one side. The envelope, beak and toes stand out in relief, which gives her that 3D look from the front. For everyday care, we suggest a gentle hand wash in warm soapy water and a soft cloth to keep her coloured details crisp. If she is going as a present, tuck a few favourite teabags or a handful of wrapped sweets inside her for a gift that is ready to enjoy.
