Icons Christmas No.1 Glossy Stoneware Mug 11oz - Red & White

This glossy stoneware mug brings a knowing wink to the festive season, with a bright red handle and inside set against a white body wrapped in a pink Christmas print. At its centre sits an illustrated scene of a man in a dark suit, flanked by four women in red festive dresses trimmed with white, all framed in a soft pink circle. Around them run strips of black film, a scatter of red, green, white and gold stars and a gold sparkle-effect ornament, while the slogan along the base tells someone they are your Christmas number one, again. It holds 11oz and stands 9.8cm tall, 12cm across including the handle and 8.5cm deep.

At 11oz it is a proper mug for the first tea or coffee of a winter morning, with room for a hot chocolate too. It is as happy by the kettle in the kitchen as on a desk at work, or on a tray beside the sofa for a festive film night, where the black film strips on the print feel right. Because the joke is in the print, it is the sort of mug that raises a smile every time it comes out of the cupboard through December, and it makes a light-hearted present to hand over with a box of biscuits.

The body is stoneware with a glossy finish that gives the reds, pinks and golds of the print a bright shine, and the rounded red handle leaves room for your fingers on a cold morning. The colour carries on inside, so the red interior frames each fresh pour. As good practice for stoneware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, avoiding scourers so the print stays crisp. Set it out with a plate of mince pies, or keep it on the shelf alongside your other festive mugs.
