Description
This large stoneware mug holds 550ml, which makes it a generous mug for a big tea, a milky coffee or a hot chocolate on a cold afternoon. It stands 11.5cm tall and 9.5cm across, with a rounded body that swells out below a slightly narrower rim, so it sits comfortably cupped in both hands. The handle is the part people notice first: it curls out from the side and finishes at the top in a tail, shaped like the fluke of a whale, where it meets the rim. The blue glaze pools and speckles as it runs down the body, giving the surface real depth and movement instead of a flat, even coat.
It belongs on the kitchen table for slow weekend mornings, and it suits anyone who likes their tea or coffee in quantity rather than in a dainty cup. At 550ml it is also large enough for a mug of soup at lunch, warmed through in the microwave and sipped at your desk or by the window. The whale tail makes it a thoughtful present for someone who loves the sea, a sailor, a swimmer or a friend who lives near the coast, and it looks as much at home on an open shelf or behind the glass of a kitchen cabinet as it does in daily use.
It is made from 100% stoneware and weighs 0.47KG, a reassuring weight in the hand. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well. Care asks very little of you: it goes in the dishwasher and the microwave, so reheating a forgotten tea or washing it after supper is no trouble, and it can go in the oven too. For styling, keep it out on display: line it up on an open shelf with plain or striped crockery and let the blue glaze and the whale tail handle carry the look.
