Description
This embossed stoneware mug brings Rudolph the red nosed reindeer to the table for Christmas. His cheerful face is raised from the surface, with brown antlers, rosy pink cheeks and a round, glossy red nose, so you can feel the design as well as see it. Beneath him, the words "RUDOLPH the red nosed REINDEER" run in red capitals around a line of soft grey handwritten script. The mug itself is white, with straight sides that flare gently at the foot and a generous loop handle. The same design appears on both sides, so Rudolph faces outwards whichever hand you drink with. It stands 8.5cm tall, 11.5cm wide and 8.5cm deep.
It is a cosy mug for the festive weeks: a hot chocolate after a frosty walk, a cup of tea while the presents are wrapped, or a coffee at the desk on the last working days before the holidays. At 8.5cm tall it tucks neatly onto a mug tree or a busy kitchen shelf, ready to come out each December. As a Christmas gift it is easy and warm, lovely on its own or tucked into a winter hamper with a bag of good coffee, a box of marshmallows or a bar of chocolate.
The mug is made of stoneware, a solid ceramic that sits comfortably in the hand, and the reindeer is worked into its surface rather than added on, which gives the design its gentle raised edge. As good practice for stoneware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth to keep Rudolph's colours bright. For a present, wrap it in tissue with a sachet of hot chocolate dropped inside and a red ribbon around the handle, and it will be ready to use on Christmas morning.
