Description
This Harry Potter porcelain mug carries the famous Platform 9¾ sign on one side and a railway poster style message on the other, in deep dark blue with rich gold detail. On the front, PLATFORM 9¾ runs across a gold scrolled banner in pale blue lettering, framed by gold brickwork, little stacked trunks and tiny gold stars. Turn it round and the words A MAGICAL JOURNEY, LONDON TO HOGWARTS and HOGWARTS EXPRESS sit in gold and blue beside a small round 9¾ platform badge. The mug is 9.8cm tall, 12.5cm wide and 8cm deep, and it holds 340ml. That is a generous size for a proper cup of tea or a large coffee.
It belongs wherever the morning brew happens: on the kitchen shelf, beside the kettle, or on a desk at home or in the office, where those gold details catch the light between sips. On a bookshelf or a dresser it sits happily as a display piece too, turned to show whichever side you like best. It also makes a thoughtful gift whenever you want to give something a little out of the ordinary.
The body is porcelain with a soft matt finish, so the gold rim and the curled, scrolled gold handle stand out with a bright shine against it. Inside, the mug is a clean cream, and a round blue stamp at the bottom reads PLATFORM 9¾, DEPARTURE 11AM, a small detail that comes into view as you finish your drink. As good practice for porcelain with gold detail, we suggest washing it gently by hand with a soft cloth and drying it straight away to keep the gold bright. Fill it with a favourite tea and wrap it up with a packet of biscuits for a gift that is ready to enjoy.
