Description
This stoneware mug carries a heartfelt verse for Nan, set between sprays of soft watercolour wildflowers. Her name sits at the front in flowing black script, and beneath it the words read: "Has ears that truly LISTEN, arms that always hold, a LOVE that's NEVER ENDING and a HEART that's made of GOLD." Turn the mug round and the back becomes a meadow of peach blooms, blue and lilac stems and a bee, printed in gentle multicoloured tones on a pale cream glaze. The handle and rim are a warm peach. Just inside the rim a small line reads "You're the loveliest", a sweet surprise waiting for her as she sips.
It holds 300ml, a comfortable everyday size for a morning tea or an afternoon coffee. It stands 7.5cm tall and 8cm deep, so it sits comfortably in the hand and tucks neatly onto a kitchen shelf. We think it makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift for a grandmother, whether it comes from her grandchildren or from her own children. The verse says what so many of us mean but rarely put into words. It suits a nan who loves her garden, a country kitchen or a quiet cup of tea in her favourite chair.
The mug is made from stoneware with a smooth glaze. The verse, the wildflowers and the message inside the rim are applied as a printed decal. The rounded peach handle is easy to hold, and the stepped base gives it a neat finish on a table or tray. To keep the print looking its best, we suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. For a fuller gift, tuck it in with a box of her favourite tea and a handwritten card, and it becomes a mug she will reach for every morning.
