Description
The Reeha mug is shaped as a face, cast in stoneware with closed eyes, a straight nose and full lips at the front and hair swept back around the sides. The hair gathers at the back into a twisted handle that reads like a plait, so the mug is as much a small sculpture as a vessel for a morning brew. It holds 310ml, which makes it a proper everyday mug for tea or coffee with room for milk, and it stands 8cm across and 9cm tall, compact enough to cradle in one hand.
It belongs on the kitchen shelf or the breakfast table, where it earns a second look each time it comes out of the cupboard. Use it for the first coffee of the day, a mug of tea at the weekend or a hot chocolate on a cold evening. It suits anyone who likes tableware with a bit of character, and it makes a thoughtful present for a friend who keeps a shelf of unusual mugs. At 0.24KG it is light enough to carry from the kitchen to a desk or a reading chair.
The glaze has a soft shine and settles into the raised lines of the hair, so the brown runs deeper in the grooves and lighter across the cheek and brow. As with any glaze of this kind, the colour may vary a little from one mug to the next, so yours will be its own. Stoneware holds heat well, and this mug goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it fits straight into the everyday routine. For styling, turn the face outward on an open shelf among plainer pieces, where its profile can catch the light.
