Description
This playful stoneware mug carries a cartoon boy with blond hair and a red jumper, his hands pressed to his cheeks and his mouth wide open in mock alarm. Around him run black film strips dotted with white stars, with scattered red, green and gold glitter-effect stars and a gold glitter-effect bauble top just above his head. The words I MADE MY COFFEE DISAPPEAR are printed in bold black capitals around the lower edge, so the joke reads as you turn the mug in your hand. The handle and the inside are a bright red, and the outside has a gloss finish. It holds 11oz and stands 9.8cm tall, 12cm wide and 8.5cm deep.
It is a cheerful mug for the kitchen cupboard, the office desk or the shelf by the kettle, ready for the first coffee of the day, a mid-morning tea or a mug of hot chocolate in the evening. The 11oz capacity holds a proper, generous drink, so there is less need to get up for a refill, though the printed words suggest it may still vanish quickly. The bright colours and the cartoon face make it an easy one to spot among plainer mugs, which is handy in a shared kitchen at work.
The mug is made from stoneware, a type of ceramic, with a gloss finish over the print and a full loop handle with room for your fingers. As good practice for printed stoneware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which helps keep the colours bright. For a light-hearted gift, tuck a bag of good ground coffee or a few chocolates inside before you wrap it, or simply set it out on the side for the next round of drinks.
