Description
This stoneware cup and saucer pairs a cheerful floral design with a gentle reminder to enjoy the little things. The cup is off white on the outside, scattered with small orange, pink, lilac and blue flowers, sprigs of green leaves and a few busy bumblebees. At the front, a scalloped panel holds a little bee above the words "Enjoy the little things". Inside, the cup is a sunny yellow, with a yellow handle and a yellow foot to match, and the off white saucer carries more tiny flowers and a bee near its rim. It holds 300ml, enough for a proper cup of tea or coffee. With the cup on its saucer, the set measures 16cm across and stands 10cm tall.
It brings a bright, happy note to a slow breakfast, a mid-morning break at the kitchen table or a quiet cup of tea at the end of the day, and it looks just as cheerful on a dresser shelf between brews. We think it makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift for a mum who loves flowers, and a warm thank-you gift for a teacher or anyone who has gone out of their way for you. The message is simple and kind, a small reminder to slow down and enjoy a quiet moment.
The cup and saucer are made from stoneware, a type of ceramic, with the floral artwork and lettering applied as a decal. As good practice for decorated ceramics, we suggest a gentle wash by hand in warm soapy water and a dry with a soft tea towel to keep it looking its best. For a gift, tuck a few favourite tea bags or a little packet of biscuits into the cup and wrap the pair together, and it is ready for its first brew the moment it is unwrapped.
