Description
This stoneware mug for Mum carries a heartfelt verse on a soft white glaze, framed on either side by watercolour sprigs of wildflowers. The word Mum sits at the top in flowing black script, with the lines "Generous & caring, KIND & thoughtful too. you make everything MORE LOVELY, just by being YOU." printed beneath it. Turn the mug round and the back is a whole meadow of peach blooms, blue and lilac stems and soft yellow leaves, with a little bee drifting among them. A peach handle and a fine peach rim pick up the warmest tones of the flowers, and inside, just below the rim, one more line reads "You're the loveliest", a quiet surprise for her first sip.
It holds 300ml, a comfortable measure for a proper cup of tea or a morning coffee, and at 7.5cm tall and 8cm deep it has a low, generous shape that is easy to wrap both hands around on a chilly day. It is at home on the kitchen worktop, beside the kettle or on a bedside table with a cup of tea in bed. We think it makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift, putting into words the things that often go unsaid, and it is just as welcome as a thank you for Mum whenever she deserves one.
The mug is made of stoneware with a smooth, glossy glaze, the verse and the wildflowers printed on the outside and the inner line printed just below the rim. To keep the print looking fresh, we suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. For a gift, tuck it into tissue paper with her favourite tea or a bar of chocolate, and once it is hers it will be a cheerful reminder every morning of how much she is loved.
