Description
This white stoneware mug carries a cheerful cartoon portrait of a ginger-haired chap in round black glasses, his beard neatly trimmed and his tattooed arms folded across a white T-shirt. Around him runs a string of fairy lights in red, teal and pink, scattered with red, teal and gold stars and topped by a gold bauble with a glitter look. Along the base, the line "I like my tea with a hint of ginger" reads right round the mug, so it reads in full as you turn it. The handle and the inside are a bright red that picks up the lights, and the gloss finish keeps the colours crisp. It holds 11oz and stands 9.8cm tall, 12cm wide and 8.5cm deep.
An 11oz mug is a proper everyday size, holding a good cup of builder's tea, a ginger infusion or a morning coffee. It sits happily on a desk at work, beside the kettle at home or on the coffee table when friends come round, and the bright red handle makes it easy to spot in a cupboard full of plain white mugs. We think it suits anyone who likes a pun with their morning cuppa, and the warm colours of the print bring a bit of cheer to the darker evenings.
Stoneware is a sturdy, dense ceramic, and this mug has a smooth gloss finish over the print, with the white body set off by the red interior. The handle is a generous loop with room for your fingers. For care, we would wash it by hand in warm soapy water, dry it with a soft cloth and skip scouring pads, which keeps the print bright for longer. Wrapped with a box of ginger tea or a few spiced biscuits, it makes a cheerful little gift that gets used every day rather than tucked away.
