Description
Sameen is a beige stoneware mug with a face. A calm, simple face sits on its side in raised relief: two long brows that sweep down into a nose, and a pair of lips set under it. It stands on a footed base, like a small pedestal, with a rounded loop handle and a plain band around the rim. It is made of 100% stoneware in a speckled beige glaze, measures 8cm across and 10.5cm tall, and holds 290ml, a proper mug size for a generous tea or a milky coffee.
This is a mug for everyday use as much as for display. Morning coffee, afternoon tea or a hot chocolate at the end of the day all sit comfortably in its 290ml. In the kitchen or the dining room it brings a little character to the table, and on a desk it lends a smile to the working day. Between drinks it can stand on an open shelf or hang from a mug rack, where the face adds interest to a row of plainer mugs. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes their tableware to have a bit of personality. The styling props shown are not included.
Stoneware is fired at high temperatures, which gives it a dense, sturdy body, and it holds heat well. Because of the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the speckling and the shade of beige can differ a little from one mug to the next and yours will have its own character. Care is straightforward: it goes in the dishwasher and in the microwave, which makes reheating a forgotten coffee easy, but it should stay out of the oven. It weighs 0.3KG. For styling, turn it side-on on an open shelf so the face shows in profile, or set it among plain crockery, where its features catch the eye.
