Description
This stoneware mug pays tribute to the Hurricane, the famous wartime fighter, with its print on a white body and a green inside and handle. One side carries a fact sheet under the word HURRICANE in bold dark lettering. Tan bands are headed manufacturer, engine type, designer, crew, first flight, model number, length, wingspan and top speed, and a small silhouette of the aircraft sits above a line marking its 12.19m wingspan. Turn it round and the other side has two full-colour drawings of the Mk IIC in sand and brown camouflage, one from above and one in profile, complete with roundels and the JX B code letters. It holds 11oz and measures 10cm tall, 12cm wide and 8.2cm deep.
It is a mug for the first tea of the morning or a long coffee at the desk, and the fact sheet gives you something to read while the kettle boils. The green lining and handle sit well on a kitchen shelf, in a study or in a home office, and the classic shape makes it an easy everyday favourite. It makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift, the kind of present that gets used every day rather than tucked away in a cupboard, and the printed details are a ready talking point over a brew.
The body is stoneware, a sturdy everyday ceramic, with a glossy white outside and the green carried right through the inside and over the handle. The handle is a generous open loop, and the straight sides make it easy to stir. To keep the print looking its best, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. Wrap it with a packet of good tea or ground coffee and it is ready to give, or keep it by the kettle for your own first cup of the day.
