Description
This white stoneware mug is decorated with a watercolour-style robin, its bright red breast and touches of blue sitting beside a sprig of red berries and soft green leaves. It holds 400ml, a generous measure for a proper mug of tea or a milky hot chocolate, and stands about 10cm tall, 14cm wide and 9cm deep, so it sits comfortably in the hand. The classic straight-sided shape, with a neat band around the base and a rounded handle, gives it a homely, traditional feel that suits any kitchen.
Through the colder months it is a cheerful companion at the breakfast table, and the robin keeps it feeling festive at Christmas while still looking right on an ordinary weekday morning. We think it makes a thoughtful Mother's Day gift, something practical that will be reached for every day rather than tucked away in a cupboard. It is just as welcome popped into a Christmas stocking, set on a festive breakfast tray or kept by the armchair for a quiet cup with a good book. Anyone who loves watching the robins on the bird table will warm to it straight away, and it sits happily alongside plain white crockery or more traditional pieces.
The mug is made from stoneware, a type of ceramic, finished with a smooth glaze over the white body that shows off the soft colours of the robin and berries. To keep the decoration looking its best, we suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, as you would any decorated ceramic. For a gift, fill it with a few favourite teabags, a sachet of hot chocolate or a handful of sweets, wrap it in tissue and add a sprig of greenery for a finishing touch.
