Description
This is a set of four cream stoneware mugs, each painted by hand with a flowing floral motif of leafy sprigs, small blossoms and dotted stems that runs across the body. Each mug holds 400ml and measures 11cm across and 9cm tall, so it is a generous mug rather than a dainty teacup, with room for a large tea with milk, a big morning coffee or a hot chocolate. The rounded bowl sits on a raised foot, a full loop handle gives a comfortable grip, and a painted band picks out both the rim and the foot.
With four matching mugs, there is one each for a small household, or enough for friends who drop by for a slow weekend breakfast. The pattern is the same on all four, so they look tidy lined up on an open dresser shelf or hung from hooks in a row, and the cream ground sits as easily beside plain tableware as beside other painted pieces. The generous capacity and steady footed base make them a good choice for the long cup of tea at the end of the day, a hot chocolate on a cold afternoon or a milky coffee at the desk.
The mugs are 100% stoneware with a hand-painted finish, and stoneware is a dense material that holds heat well. They are food safe and can go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so a coffee that has gone cold can be reheated in the mug and clearing up after breakfast is simple. For a soft, layered look, set them out on a dresser or kitchen shelf with a jug of fresh garden flowers nearby; the styling props shown are not included.
