Description
This ceramic mug has a sea turtle swimming across its side, its patterned shell and flippers picked out in warm cream against a deep green glaze. The turtle is decorated in a wax resist style, so it shows in a soft cream tone, and a matching cream band runs round the base where the green stops. The mug stands 9.3cm tall, 11.4cm wide and 8.8cm deep, a comfortable everyday size for tea or coffee, with a rounded handle that leaves room for your fingers.
This is a mug for the morning cup and the afternoon pause, as at home on a breakfast table as it is on a desk or beside a favourite armchair. The green sits easily with natural wood, stoneware and houseplants, while the cream turtle and base add a lighter note so the colour never feels heavy. Its turtle brings a gentle coastal feel to a kitchen shelf, and it looks just as good hung on a mug tree as it does lined up in a cupboard. It makes an easy gift too, the kind of thing that gets used every day rather than put away for best.
The mug is ceramic, with a smooth glazed green finish inside and out and a cream band around the foot that gives it a warm, earthy look. We suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which is good practice for any glazed ceramic and keeps the turtle design looking crisp. Pair it with a packet of favourite tea or a bag of good coffee for a simple present, or keep it on an open shelf among your other everyday pieces for a relaxed, natural look in the kitchen.
