Description
Jolly is a pair of stoneware Christmas mugs in cream, each holding 300ml, which is a proper mug of tea or coffee rather than a dainty cup. The two mugs carry different designs. One has a folk-style border of paired birds and tiny hearts running just under the rim; the other has a simple row of hearts with a line of dots beneath. Both have a gleaming handle and a fine gleaming line around the rim, which lifts the plain cream body without making it fussy. Each mug is 9.5cm across and 8cm tall, a little wider than it is high, with a gently tapered body.
These are mugs for the Christmas weeks: the first tea of the morning on the day itself, coffee with something sweet when family arrive, a hot chocolate by the tree in the evening. Because the pair gives you two different patterns, they suit a couple, two friends sharing a pot, or a small gift for someone who loves a festive table. The folk birds and hearts sit happily beside rustic wood and plain china alike, and the cream body keeps them from looking loud on a breakfast table, a kitchen shelf or a dresser between uses.
They are made of 100% stoneware. They do not go in the dishwasher, so wash them by hand, and they are not for the microwave or the oven either, so warm milk in a pan and pour it in. Stoneware is a dense clay that holds heat well, which suits a slow cup on a cold afternoon. For styling, hang the pair from hooks under a shelf with the patterns facing out, or stand them on a tray with a small dish of biscuits and a sprig of greenery. The styling props shown are not included.
