Description
This resting tiger mug is glazed ceramic in a warm terracotta, with a big cat stretched out along its side in fine cream lines. The tiger lies with its head raised and its gaze straight ahead, its stripes running the length of its body and down to its paws, so the drawing fills most of the side. The decoration is wax resistant, its lines showing in a soft cream against the deeper terracotta glaze, and a cream band runs around the base. The inside is terracotta too, and the handle is a generous rounded loop. It stands 9.2cm tall, 11.4cm wide and 8.8cm deep, a compact everyday size that sits easily in the hand.
We think it belongs on the kitchen shelf as much as on the desk: a mug for the first tea of the morning, a mid-afternoon coffee or a hot chocolate at the end of the day. The terracotta sits warmly beside wood, natural linen, green plants and other earthy tones, so it looks at home on an open shelf or a dresser between uses. The tiger gives it real character without being loud, and it suits a rustic or botanical style of kitchen. On a desk at work or in a home office, it brings a touch of the wild to the daily cup.
The mug is glazed ceramic, with straight sides and a flat base that sit neatly on a table, tray or coaster. To keep the cream lines and the terracotta glaze looking their best, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. It makes a thoughtful gift on its own, and even more so wrapped with a favourite loose leaf tea or a bag of coffee beans tucked inside. Just as happily, keep it for yourself and let it become the mug you reach for first.
