Description
This stoneware mug carries a few heartfelt words for the woman who has been there from the very start: first my MUM forever my FRIEND, written in a mix of flowing script and neat capitals across its front. Beneath the words sits a slender leaf sprig, drawn in the same fine dark line, so the design feels gentle rather than busy. The whole mug is finished in a soft brown glaze, a warm, muted shade that sits well beside cream, white and natural wood. It holds 290ml, a generous cup of tea or coffee, and stands 7.5cm tall, 12cm wide and 9cm deep. It has a squat, comfortable shape with a rounded handle that has a small curl at the top and bottom.
It is a lovely way to tell a mum what she means, and we think it makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift for the mum who taught you everything and is now the friend you ring first with news. The muted colour and simple lettering suit a farmhouse kitchen, a calm cream scheme or a desk where she likes to keep a cup within reach. Give it on its own, or wrap it with a bag of her favourite coffee for a gift that gets used every morning rather than tucked away in a cupboard.
The mug is made from stoneware, a dense type of ceramic, and the glazed finish gives it a smooth, gentle sheen. To keep the glaze and lettering looking their best, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. Tuck a few of her favourite tea bags inside and add a handwritten card, and you have a Mother's Day morning sorted.
