Description
Our Samsin mug is a small stoneware mug in blue, holding 150ml and standing 10cm tall and 8cm across. Its whole body is embossed: raised flowers and curling stems run around the middle, framed by bands of upright ribs at the rim and at the base, so the surface has real texture under your fingers. The blue reads deeper in the recessed parts of the pattern, which picks out every petal, and the finish is glossy. A single rounded loop handle completes the shape.
At 150ml it is smaller than most mugs, sized for a cortado, an espresso or a quick cup of tea rather than a big morning brew. That makes it a good fit for a breakfast table, a kitchen shelf of everyday cups or an afternoon cup at the desk. Because the pattern runs all the way round, it looks just as good hanging from a hook or standing on open shelving as it does in the hand, and a few together make a cheerful line along a dresser. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a coffee lover who likes textured ceramics.
It is made entirely of stoneware, a dense clay fired at high temperature that holds heat well and stands up to daily use. The maker says it can go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so it copes with everyday washing and can warm milk for a hot chocolate. It weighs 0.294KG. For styling, let the texture lead: set it beside plain plates or on a wooden tray, where the raised blue flowers have room to show.
