Description
Our Jatoba mug is a generous 400ml stoneware mug in beige, with a rounded body that sits on a short, flared foot and opens gently at the rim. The surface is flecked all over with fine speckles, which gives it the look of natural clay, and a looped handle curves out from the side. It stands 11cm tall, measures 11cm across and weighs 0.39KG. At 400ml it is a proper big mug rather than a dainty cup: it holds a large tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate with room left for a splash of milk.
This is a mug for the long drinks of the day: the first tea of the morning, a coffee at the desk, or something warm to carry to a reading chair in the evening. The footed base lifts it slightly, so it looks as much at home on a side table or a stack of books as it does on the breakfast table. Stoneware holds heat well, a quality slow drinkers tend to appreciate. The soft beige sits easily beside wood, linen and woven textures, and it makes a thoughtful present for anyone who takes their tea seriously.
It goes in the dishwasher and in the microwave, so reheating a coffee left to go cold is no trouble, but it does not go in the oven. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, well suited to a mug that gets used every day. The speckled finish and footed shape give it a relaxed, informal feel, so it mixes happily with plain white crockery or with other speckled pieces. For an easy display, hang a few from hooks beneath a kitchen shelf or line them up on an open dresser where they are always within reach; the styling props shown are not included.
