Jules Stoneware Mug 450ml - Green

This is a generous stoneware mug that holds 450ml, enough for a proper long tea, a large milky coffee or a hot chocolate on a cold afternoon. It stands 10cm tall and measures 9.5cm across, with a body that narrows gently towards its foot and a rounded loop handle with room for your fingers. The glaze is what catches the eye first: a deep green band circles the rim and runs down the sides in an uneven, speckled edge, like moss creeping over stone, while the lower half keeps a quieter, finely flecked surface.

At 450ml it suits anyone who would rather pour one good cup than two small ones: the first tea of the day at the kitchen table, the coffee that keeps you company through a long morning at the desk, or a warming soup on the sofa on a winter evening. The tapered body sits comfortably between two hands, and at 0.416KG it has a reassuring weight without feeling clumsy. It makes a thoughtful gift for a dedicated tea or coffee drinker, and it looks at home in a kitchen with natural wood, linen and open shelving.

The mug is made of stoneware, and its finish is a reactive glaze painted by hand. A reactive glaze shifts as it fires, so the drips, the speckling and the line where the green gives way differ a little from one mug to the next, and the one you receive will be its own. It is dishwasher safe, microwave safe and oven safe, so it can warm through in the microwave or the oven and then go into the dishwasher with no special handling. Stoneware holds heat well and is a dense, hardwearing material for something used every day. For styling, hang a few from hooks beneath a shelf, or stand one on a wooden board beside the kettle, where the green glaze catches the morning light.
