Description
These are four stoneware mugs, each painted by hand and embossed with a raised pattern of rounded shapes that run in vertical bands around the body. The pink comes in deeper and lighter shades, and a band of deeper pink wraps the foot of each mug. Each one holds 235ml, a proper everyday mug size for a tea or a filter coffee, and measures 9cm across and 9.5cm tall, so it sits comfortably in two cupped hands.
As a set of four, they suit a small household or a couple who often welcome friends: one for each person at the breakfast table, all with the same pattern. They work for the first tea of the morning in the kitchen, a coffee at a desk while working from home, or a hot chocolate on the sofa in the evening. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, which makes it a good material for a drink taken slowly. The handle is chunky, and the straight sides look neat lined up along an open shelf or a dresser.
The body is 100% stoneware, with a glossy glaze on the inside and the outside, and because the pattern is embossed you feel the rounded shapes under your fingertips as well as see them. Care is simple: the mugs go in the dishwasher and the microwave, so warming a coffee that has gone cold takes moments, but they are not for the oven. Painted by hand yet happy in the dishwasher, these are mugs for daily use rather than ones saved for best. For a styling note, hang all four from hooks under a kitchen shelf, or set them on a wooden tray beside a teapot, where the bands of pink bring colour to plain walls and pale worktops.

Frequently Asked
What size are the mugs?
Each mug holds 235ml and measures 9cm across and 9.5cm tall, a comfortable everyday size for a cup of tea or coffee.

Yes. The maker states they can go in both the dishwasher and the microwave, but they are not suitable for use in the oven.
What material are the mugs?
They are 100% stoneware, painted by hand and embossed, so the rounded pattern is raised and you can feel it under your fingers.

Four mugs come in the set, all with the same pink pattern. The styling props shown are not included, only the four mugs themselves.
Are they good for everyday tea and coffee?
