Description
These are two stoneware mugs, sold together as a set, each painted by hand with bold vertical stripes in a multicoloured scheme and finished with a chunky loop handle in a contrasting shade. The two mugs are not identical: one carries broad, softer stripes and the other narrower, deeper ones, so the pair looks chosen rather than matched. Each holds 250ml, an everyday mug of tea or coffee, and measures 9.5cm across and 8.5cm tall, a compact, straight-sided shape with a gently uneven, hand-painted look.
They suit the breakfast table and the kitchen shelf equally well, and their cheerful stripes come into their own outdoors, on a garden table laid for a summer lunch or a slow weekend breakfast. As a pair they make an easy gift for a couple, a friend setting up a first home or anyone who likes their morning cup to have a bit of character. Because the two designs differ, each person can keep a mug of their own without any muddle over whose is whose.
Stoneware is a dense, hardwearing ceramic that holds heat well, which suits a slow cup of tea on a cool morning. The stripes are painted by hand, and the brush marks show in their softly wavering edges, so each mug carries the trace of the person who painted it. Care is simple: both mugs go in the dishwasher and the microwave, and they can go in the oven too, so warming a drink or washing up after breakfast takes no special handling. For styling, set them beside plain white plates or striped table linen and let the mugs bring the colour to the table, or line them up on an open kitchen shelf where the handles can be seen.
