Description
This stoneware mug brings a gentle touch of winter cheer to the breakfast table, with a pair of robins perched along a leafy green branch dotted with red berries. The birds are painted in a soft watercolour style, with russet breasts, warm brown wings and pale undersides, and beneath them the words 'merry christmas' run in neat grey lower-case lettering. The body is a clean white with a smooth glossy finish, set off by a generous loop handle and a gently flared foot. It holds 400ml, enough for a proper, unhurried cup of tea or coffee, and it stands 10cm tall, 14cm wide and 9cm deep.
It is a mug for the weeks of December, when the evenings draw in and a hot drink is half the reason for coming indoors. We like it for slow mornings over the holidays, for a hot chocolate by the tree, or as the mug everyone reaches for while the presents are being wrapped. As a Christmas gift it says plenty without fuss: the robins and the printed greeting do the work of a card, and the 400ml capacity suits anyone who likes their tea in a decent measure. Wrapped with a few biscuits or a bag of good coffee, it makes a thoughtful festive present.
The mug is made from stoneware, with the robin design printed onto its smooth white surface. The wide loop handle leaves plenty of room for the fingers, and the flat, flared foot sits steadily on a table, tray or windowsill. To keep the print looking its best, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which is good practice for any decorated mug. Bring it out with the first of the decorations, set it on an open shelf beside a sprig of greenery between cups, and it will see you happily through to Twelfth Night.
