Description
This ribbed stoneware mug carries a Lancaster aircraft across its front, seen from overhead in tan and brown camouflage, with four propellers along the wings and a red, white and blue roundel on each wing. The name LANCASTER is printed beneath it in pale, sandy capitals. The body is a deep, glossy green with gentle ripples running around it, and the glaze stops short of the foot to leave a band of natural, matt stoneware, while the back is left plain green. It holds 11oz and stands 9cm tall, 12cm wide and 9.3cm deep, with a generous looped handle.
It is a mug made for daily use: the first cup of tea at the kitchen table, a coffee beside the keyboard at work, or a warming drink in the shed or on the garden bench. The 11oz measure suits a proper builder's brew without needing a top up halfway through, and the looped handle gives a steady grip. The deep green and natural foot sit happily among wooden worktops, cream crockery and other earthy kitchen tones, and the aircraft gives it a little character on the dresser or a mug tree. It makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift with a sense of history, chosen for its design and then reached for every morning.
Made from stoneware, the mug is glazed green inside and out apart from the natural band at the foot, and its rippled walls catch the light as you turn it. To keep the print and glaze at their best, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. For a ready made Father's Day present, fill it with a favourite tea or a bag of fresh coffee and wrap the lot in brown paper.
