Description
This pair of Christmas mugs is made from stoneware, one decorated with a row of illustrated nutcracker figures and the other wrapped in bold stripes that run from the rim to the base. Each mug holds 300ml and is 9.5cm across and 8cm tall, with a wide body that is broader at the rim than at the foot and a rounded handle. That capacity makes them proper mugs rather than coffee cups: room for a full tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate topped with cream. The two designs differ but belong together, and the multicoloured colourway ties them into a matched pair.
We see them earning their place through the festive weeks: coffee on Christmas morning, hot chocolate after a cold walk, a warm drink while the presents are wrapped. Because there are two, they suit a breakfast tray for two, a pair of guests by the fire, or a gift for someone who likes their kitchen dressed for Christmas. Wrap them with a packet of good tea or cocoa and the present is done. The nutcracker mug has the more storybook look, while the striped one is simpler and sits happily on an open kitchen shelf into the new year.
Stoneware is a dense ceramic that holds heat well, which suits a slow drink on a cold afternoon. These mugs are not dishwasher safe, so wash them by hand and dry them before they go back in the cupboard. They are not microwave safe or oven safe either, so warm milk in a pan and pour it in rather than heating it in the mug. For styling, hang the pair from hooks under a shelf or stand them on a tray beside the tree with the patterns facing out, and keep them together so each design sets off the other. The styling props shown are not included.
