Description
This stoneware mug carries a little line-drawn house and five words that say a great deal: if only YOU lived CLOSER. The house is sketched in a fine grey line, with a chimney on its roof, a single window and a small arched door, and the message runs across its front in a mix of flowing script and neat capitals. The mug is glazed in a soft brown inside and out, with a low, wide body, straight sides and a curled handle that turns outwards at the top and bottom. It holds 290ml and measures 7.5cm tall, 12cm wide and 9cm deep.
It is a mug made for everyday use: the first coffee of the morning, a cup of tea at your desk, a hot chocolate on a slow afternoon. At 290ml it holds a proper drink without being an oversized cup, and the shorter, wider shape sits steadily on a kitchen table, a bedside table or a tray. Because the words do the talking, it also makes a thoughtful gift, a small and cheerful way of telling someone they are missed between visits. It suits anyone who likes their mugs simple, soft in colour and quietly meaningful rather than loud.
Made from stoneware with a glazed finish, it has a smooth, glossy surface and a generous handle that is comfortable to hold. As with most glazed stoneware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which is a gentle way to look after the printed house and words. Avoid scouring pads on the print. For a gift, wrap it with a packet of their favourite tea or coffee, or tuck a handwritten note inside, and it says exactly what you mean before the kettle has even boiled.
