Description
This pumpkin ceramic mug has a little hedgehog tucked into a rounded alcove on its front, a charming detail that greets you every time you reach for your morning tea. The body takes the shape of a pumpkin, with soft ribs running from the rim down to a gently rounded base, and it is finished in white glaze scattered with fine speckles. The hedgehog is a small raised figure, its spines picked out in warm brown and its nose tipped in black, and the curved handle is coloured a matching brown with a soft, grained look. It stands 9.5cm tall, 13cm wide and 9cm deep, a cosy size to wrap both hands around on a cold morning.
We think it sits most happily in the kitchen or on the breakfast table, where its pumpkin form and gentle colouring bring a seasonal note as the evenings draw in. It suits a farmhouse or country kitchen, a dresser shelf of cream and natural pieces, or a simple neutral scheme, since the white glaze and brown handle sit easily alongside wood, linen and stoneware. Use it for tea, coffee or hot chocolate, or keep it on a desk as a cheerful nod to the garden's prickliest visitor. The hedgehog gives it real character, the kind of detail that turns a mug into a favourite.
The mug is made from ceramic with a glazed finish, which gives the white body a soft sheen and lets the speckles show through with a gently rustic look. We suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, taking a little extra time around the hedgehog's textured spines and the edges of its alcove. Line it up beside the kettle for autumn mornings, or wrap it with a packet of good tea for a thoughtful small gift.
