Description
This porcelain mug brings a robin to the Christmas table. The bird is perched on a sprig of glossy holly heavy with red berries, framed by fir branches and pine cones. The body is a soft, slightly warm white, so the robin's orange breast and the deep greens of the holly stand out clearly. An electroplated gold handle and a fine gold line around the rim add a warm shine. The same winter scene appears on both sides, so it looks just as cheerful from across the table as it does from your own seat. It stands 9.5cm tall, 12cm wide and 8cm deep.
We see it earning its place through the festive season: a first cup of tea on Christmas morning, hot chocolate after a frosty walk, or coffee by the fire while the presents are wrapped. It suits a farmhouse kitchen or a breakfast table laid with red and green, and looks at home on an open dresser shelf between drinks. As a Christmas gift it is easy to love, and it makes a thoughtful addition to a hamper, tucked in with a packet of good tea, a jar of hot chocolate or a few biscuits. The robin is a favourite winter sight in British gardens, which makes this a cheerful mug to bring out each year with the decorations.
The porcelain body has a smooth, glossy finish, and the gold on the handle and rim is electroplated for a bright, even shine. To keep the gold looking its best, we suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water with a soft cloth. Avoid scourers, and dry it straight away with a clean tea towel. Wrap it with a bag of favourite coffee for a gift that will be used every morning of the season, or keep it for yourself for that first cosy cup when the tree goes up.
