Description
This cream porcelain mug wraps Jack and Sally in fine black sketched artwork, with their names lettered in gold just below the rim and a glossy gold handle to hold it by. Around the rounded body you'll find the pair dancing cheek to cheek, Jack lifting a carved pumpkin, the two of them perched together on a great round pumpkin, and Jack's wide grin rising above a jack o'lantern. Between each Jack & Sally in the band sits a tiny pumpkin, a small touch that ties the whole design together. It stands 8.8cm tall, 12.1cm wide and 10.2cm deep, and holds 400ml, so there's room for a proper mug of tea or a generous coffee.
It's a mug to keep within reach: on the kitchen worktop for the first brew of the day, beside you on the desk through a long afternoon, or on the bedside table for a hot chocolate before sleep. The rounded, cosy shape sits comfortably in both hands, and the cream ground keeps the black drawings crisp and clear. Because the artwork runs all the way round, there's a different scene facing you each time you set it down. It makes a thoughtful gift, or a treat for yourself when a favourite cup needs replacing.
The body is porcelain with a smooth, glossy finish, and the gold runs round the rim and along the full curve of the handle. To keep the gold bright, we'd wash it gently by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth, and as with any piece with metallic detailing, we'd keep it out of the microwave. Scouring pads are best avoided, as they can wear at the decoration. Fill it with something warm on a cold evening, or tuck a few sachets of hot chocolate inside for a present that's ready to use the moment it's unwrapped.
