Description
This green stoneware cauldron mug brings the Slytherin house crest from the world of Harry Potter to your daily cup of tea or coffee. Its round-bellied body has a rolled rim and stands on three short feet, just as a proper potion cauldron should. On the front sits a shield in soft sage tones with a coiled serpent at its centre, crossed by a silver banner carrying the word Slytherin in dark lettering. Turn it round and the back shows a golden castle with blue-topped turrets rising from grey rocks. Outside, the glaze is a glossy olive green; inside, it is a soft cream, and a wide loop handle sits to one side.
At 400ml it holds a generous brew, so it suits a long breakfast at the kitchen table, a hot chocolate on a cold evening or a refill at your desk while you work. It stands 10cm tall, 12cm wide and 9.5cm deep, a size that fits easily into a cupboard and sits neatly on a bookshelf between uses. We think it makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, wrapped and placed under the tree, and a cheerful back to school present to mark the start of a new term.
Made from stoneware, the mug has a smooth glazed finish, and its three feet lift the rounded base clear of the table so it stands steadily. As general good practice for glazed stoneware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which helps keep the crest and castle decoration looking bright; avoid scourers on the design. For gifting, fill it with a few wrapped sweets or a bag of favourite tea, or set it beside a stack of well-loved books on a shelf where the serpent crest can face the room.
