Description
This stoneware mug brings a small, cheerful robin to the breakfast table, raised from the side in gentle relief so you can feel it under your fingertips. The bird has a bright red breast, a soft peach body, a brown wing and tail and fine black legs. Beneath it runs the line "have yourself a merry little CHRISTMAS", the first words in a light grey handwritten script and the last word in red capitals. The mug is a clean white with a smooth, glossy finish, a generous loop handle and a gently flared base. It stands 8.5cm tall, 11.5cm wide and 8.5cm deep, a size that sits easily in the hand.
It is a mug made for the Christmas season, when a hot chocolate by the tree or a morning tea before the presents feels like part of the day. We like it on the kitchen shelf through December, brought out with the decorations and kept close at hand until the new year. The robin is a familiar winter visitor to British gardens, so it suits a cottage kitchen, a modern home or an office desk well. As a Christmas gift it says something warm without saying too much. It also pairs well with a bag of good coffee, a box of tea or a few chocolates tucked inside.
The mug is made from stoneware, a type of ceramic. The robin is embossed, standing proud of the surface rather than printed flat, which gives the design a little depth. For everyday care we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which keeps the robin and the lettering looking their best. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a thoughtful stocking filler or a small addition to a Christmas hamper. On the table it brings a touch of seasonal cheer to every cup.
