Description
This ornate porcelain mug is dressed in the colours of Slytherin house from Harry Potter, with rich gold patterning set against a deep green body. One side carries the word SLYTHERIN on a curling banner, topped with a small ornate crest and set above a coiled serpent inside a sunburst of arrows. Turn it round and the words PRIDE AMBITION CUNNING arc across the other side in gold lettering. Between the two, gold starbursts and tiny four-point stars are scattered all the way round, and a gold rim and a glossy gold handle finish it off. It stands 9cm tall, 13cm wide and 9cm deep, a comfortable everyday size for a proper cup of tea or coffee.
It earns its place in the kitchen cupboard for the first brew of the day, and it looks just as at home on a desk, whether you work from the kitchen table or an office. The deep green and gold sit well with dark wood, brass and warm-toned shelves, so it can stay out on show between cups rather than being tucked away. If Slytherin is your house, it turns an ordinary morning tea into a small daily nod to the stories, and the wide, steady shape is easy to hold with both hands on a cold afternoon.
The mug is porcelain, finished in deep green with gold decoration, including the rim and the handle. To keep the gold bright, we would wash it gently by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth, which is good practice for any porcelain with metallic detail; avoid scourers and abrasive cleaners. Wrapped up with a favourite loose-leaf tea or a bag of good coffee, it makes a thoughtful gift, and on a breakfast tray its green and gold always look smart.
