Description
These tapered stoneware mugs say it simply: the grey mug reads Mr and the white mug reads Mrs. Both have a soft matt finish on the outside and a clean white inside, so tea or coffee always looks fresh. The lettering is a fine serif, upright on the grey mug and a flowing italic on the white, small and centred on the body rather than spread across it. Each mug widens gently from a narrower base to an open rim, with a rounded loop handle on the side. They stand 8.5cm tall, 13cm wide and 10cm deep, a good everyday size for a morning brew.
On the kitchen shelf, the breakfast table or a tray carried up on a lazy Sunday, the two mugs sit happily side by side, the grey and the white making a quiet, well matched pair. Their soft neutral colours work easily with everyday tableware in a modern kitchen or a cottage one, and they look just as good hanging from hooks as lined up in a cupboard. Because the words are printed on the mugs themselves, there is never any doubt over whose tea is whose. They make a thoughtful gift that can be unwrapped and put to use the very same morning.
The mugs are made from stoneware, with a smooth matt finish on the outside that feels soft in the hand and keeps the look calm and understated. The white interior shows the colour of a brew clearly, whether you take it strong or milky. As good practice for stoneware, we suggest washing them by hand in warm soapy water and drying them with a soft cloth, which helps keep the matt finish and the lettering looking their best. For a gift, wrap them in tissue with a box of good tea, a bag of freshly ground coffee or a little jar of biscuits, and the present is complete.
