Description
This cheerful ceramic mug is shaped as Santa's own face, and we call him Mr Claus. He has a rosy pink nose, soft pink cheeks, two little dark eyes and a tiny red smile tucked under a full white moustache. His white beard wraps around the body of the mug and is embossed with raised holly leaves, so the surface catches the light and feels lovely under your fingers. A green band of embossed leaves runs around the top like the trim of his hat, while the rim and the curved handle are a bright Christmas red. It stands 9.5cm tall, 13cm wide and 9.5cm deep, a rounded, chunky shape that sits well in two hands.
We see it as a mug for the whole of December. Fill it with hot chocolate on Christmas Eve, bring it out for a mug of tea while the presents are being wrapped, or set it out for a festive breakfast on Christmas morning. When it is not in use, his cheerful face looks just as good on an open kitchen shelf or a dresser among your other Christmas decorations. It makes a warm, easy Christmas gift too, whether given on its own or tucked into a hamper with a bag of cocoa.
The mug is made from ceramic, with a glossy finish over its coloured details. The raised holly on the beard and the leaf band at the top stand out from the surface rather than sitting flat, which gives Mr Claus his rounded, sculpted look. As good practice for ceramic with raised detail, we would wash it gently by hand in warm soapy water with a soft cloth, then dry it straight away so no water sits in the grooves of the beard. For a finishing touch, tuck a candy cane and a few marshmallows into the top and it is ready to hand over.
