Description
This floral stoneware mug carries the word Mummy in flowing black script across the front, with a short verse beneath that reads: "Generous & caring, KIND & thoughtful too. you make everything MORE LOVELY, just by being YOU." Soft watercolour wildflowers in peach, coral, blue, yellow and lilac climb up either side. The back is a full meadow of large coral blooms with a little bee drifting between the stems. The mug itself is white, with a peach handle and a fine peach line around the rim. Inside, just below the rim, a second message waits: "You're the loveliest." It stands 7.5cm tall and 8cm deep and holds 300ml, a comfortable cup of tea or coffee.
We think of it first as a Mother's Day gift. The word on the front does the talking, so it suits any mum who is called Mummy. The present might come from a little one with a grown-up's help, or from a grown son or daughter who never stopped saying it. It is just as kind a gift from one friend to another who has recently become a mum, or a simple thank-you for the person who keeps everyone going. At home it earns its place by the kettle for the first cup of the day, and between brews it looks cheerful on a kitchen shelf or dresser.
It is made of stoneware, a ceramic with a smooth, glossy finish, and the open, rounded handle is easy to hold. To keep the print looking its best, we would wash it by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth. For a Mother's Day morning, fill it with her favourite tea and carry it up with breakfast. Or tuck a few tea bags or sweets inside before you wrap it, so the little message inside the rim is the last thing she finds.
