Description
These four stoneware mugs are painted by hand with a multicoloured wavy pattern that runs all the way around each one in broad, curving bands, every band edged with a fine painted line. Each mug holds 260ml and is 8cm across and 8.5cm tall, a compact, straight-sided shape finished with a chunky round ring handle and a plain glaze inside in a contrasting shade. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, and it holds heat well, which suits a mug that gets used every day.
At 260ml, each mug takes a regular coffee or a tea with room for milk, so this is an everyday size rather than an oversized one. A set of four suits a small household or a weekend breakfast with friends, and the pattern is cheerful enough to leave out on an open shelf or on a tray beside the kettle. They sit well on a kitchen table, a desk at home or a garden table on a summer morning, and they make a thoughtful housewarming present for someone who likes plenty of colour in the kitchen.
Because each mug is painted by hand, the lines and edges will vary a little from one to the next, which is the mark of handwork rather than a fault. The maker lists them for the dishwasher and the microwave, so washing up is easy and a coffee that has gone cold can be warmed again, but they are not for the oven. The styling props shown are not included. We like all four lined along a shelf with the handles facing the same way, or hung by their ring handles from a row of hooks, where the pattern adds colour to a plain wall.
