Description
This ribbed stoneware mug carries a Hurricane aircraft across its front, drawn from above in brown and sand camouflage with red and blue roundels on the wings. Beneath it, the name Hurricane is printed in sandy capitals. The body is glazed a deep, glossy green, with soft ridges running around it and a gentle taper towards the rim, and it settles on a pale beige band at the foot, left with a raw, speckled look. It holds 11oz and measures 9cm tall, 12cm wide and 9.3cm deep, while the back is plain green so the glaze and its ridges do the talking.
At 11oz it holds a proper cup of tea or a good-sized coffee, an easy everyday size for the kitchen, the desk or a quiet half hour with the newspaper. The camouflaged aircraft and the deep green glaze give it a heritage feel that sits as comfortably in a study or a garden shed as it does on the breakfast table. We think it makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift, the kind of mug that quickly becomes the one reached for first each morning.
The mug is made from stoneware, glazed green inside and out above the beige foot, with a looped handle that leaves room for your fingers to curl through. The ridged surface catches the light along each ring, and the flat base sits steadily on a desk or tray. To keep the colour and print looking their best, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, as is good practice for any printed stoneware. Wrapped with a packet of good tea or freshly ground coffee, it makes a complete little present that is ready to use the moment the paper comes off.
