Description
This stoneware mug carries our Santa Needs A Drink design, a wry festive illustration of a weary-looking Santa with a long white beard and a red hat, shoulder to shoulder with an unimpressed elf dressed in green. The pair sit inside a round bauble with a gold cap, set against a pale blue background scattered with red, white and green stars and a sweep of black film strip. The word SANTA is printed in bold black capitals beneath them, and the handle and inside of the mug are a bright red. It holds 11oz and stands 9.8cm tall, 12cm wide and 8.5cm deep, a familiar everyday size for a proper cup of tea or coffee.
It is a mug with a sense of humour, for anyone who likes their festive cheer served with a raised eyebrow. We like it for the first coffee of a frosty morning, a cup of tea at the desk, or a hot chocolate on the sofa during a film night in. At 11oz it holds a generous brew, so there is no need to get up for a refill halfway through the film. The red inside sets off a milky tea nicely, and the red handle picks up the red stars in the print, so it sits happily on a kitchen shelf among other seasonal pieces.
The mug is made from stoneware, a ceramic, with the colourful print running around its pale blue body. As general good practice for any printed stoneware, a gentle wash by hand in warm soapy water and a dry with a soft tea towel will help keep the illustration looking bright year after year. Wrap it up with a bag of good coffee or a box of hot chocolate for a cheerful gift that should raise a smile before the first sip.
