Description
This stoneware mug carries a whole letter to Nan, printed in black typewriter-style lettering that wraps right around its white body, with her name written in rose pink script on either side of the handle. The message opens with "If I ever need a safe space, I know you will always welcome me with open arms, a cup of tea and a biscuit" and closes with "Nan, I love you to the moon and back." The mug has a low, tapered shape and a rounded handle. It measures 8.6cm tall, 12.1cm wide and 10.2cm deep, a compact size that sits steadily on a tray or a bedside table.
We see it as a lovely Mother's Day gift for a grandmother, the kind of present that says everything a card runs out of room for. The words thank her for the best advice, the patience, the kind smile and the fun times, so it suits the nan who always has the kettle on and a biscuit ready. Give it on its own, or fill it with a few of her favourite teabags before you wrap it. Afterwards it will sit happily in the kitchen cupboard or on the side by her favourite chair, ready for the next cup.
Stoneware is a dense, sturdy ceramic, and the white body gives the black lettering and the rose pink name a clean, crisp background. The rounded handle leaves room for a comfortable grip, and the low, wide body helps the mug stand firmly on a table or a coaster. As with any printed stoneware, a gentle wash by hand in warm soapy water and a soft cloth is kind to the lettering, and drying it straight away keeps it looking its best. For a finishing touch, add a handwritten tag from the grandchildren and let the mug say the rest.
