Description
This set of two stoneware mugs is made for new grandparents, with the word "Grandparent" printed in gold on one side of each mug and a little night sky drawn around it. Gold cloud outlines curve along the base, while a crescent moon, scattered stars and a tiny shooting star with a dotted trail twinkle near the rim. Turn the mug around and the other side carries a gentle verse in the same gold: "Grandparents hold our hands for a little while but our hearts forever". Each mug is white with a squat, tapered body that narrows towards the rim, a rounded handle and a neat foot. Each one holds 300ml, a good size for a proper cup of tea, and stands 8.6cm tall, 10.2cm wide and 12.4cm deep.
With two matching mugs in the set, there is one for a grandmother and one for a grandfather, so they can sit down together over a hot drink when the family comes round. They look at home on a kitchen dresser, a breakfast table or a tray of tea brought out for visitors, and the white and gold sits happily alongside most tableware. We think they make a heartfelt gift for grandparents, and the verse says what many of us find hard to put into words.
The mugs are white stoneware with the design printed in gold. To look after the print, we suggest a gentle wash by hand in warm soapy water and a dry with a soft cloth rather than anything abrasive. Keep the pair side by side on a shelf with the words facing out, or wrap them together with a handwritten card so the verse is the first thing they read when the paper comes off.
