Description
This stoneware mug is sculpted in the round as Hermione from Harry Potter, her long brown hair wrapping right around the back above a black base. On the front she raises her wand in one hand and holds an open red book in the other, with a red and yellow striped scarf around her neck and a cheerful painted smile. The handle and the inside of the cup are cream, so it is easy to see how strong your tea is. It holds 220ml, a comfortable measure for a cup of tea, a hot chocolate or a small coffee, and it stands 9.7cm tall, 10.6cm wide and 8.5cm deep, a neat size that sits well in the hand.
Because the whole cup is the character, it doubles as a small figure to keep on show between brews, on a desk, a bookshelf or a kitchen windowsill. We think it makes a cheerful Christmas gift, small enough to slip into a stocking or tuck under the tree, and it is a fond little treat for the back to school season too, ready for the first warm drink of a new term. It is a gift that tends to be used every day rather than put away in a cupboard.
The mug is stoneware, glazed to a soft shine, with the hair sculpted in gentle waves that you can feel under your fingers and a deep black base that gives it a steady footing. To keep the painted detail looking its best, we suggest a gentle wash by hand in warm soapy water and a dry with a soft cloth, as is good practice for any painted stoneware. Wrap it with a favourite paperback and a packet of hot chocolate, and you have a thoughtful gift ready to give.
