Description
This is a generous 515ml stoneware mug, hand decorated in blue with nested arches that rise from the base towards the rim. Every piece is decorated by hand, so the brushstrokes vary from mug to mug and the one you receive will be unique, with its own small differences in line and depth of colour. The body narrows slightly towards the rim, the handle is a full, open loop, and the mug measures 14.5cm across and 11cm tall. It weighs 0.508KG, a solid, settled weight for a mug of this size.
At 515ml it is a large mug rather than a cup, with room for a big milky coffee, a long morning tea or a hot chocolate on a cold afternoon. It belongs in the kitchen and at the breakfast table, and it is a good mug to keep beside you at a desk or in a home office, where a larger measure means fewer trips to the kettle. Because each one is decorated by hand, it also makes a thoughtful gift for a tea or coffee drinker who likes things a little less uniform. Between uses, the blue pattern looks just as good on an open shelf or a dresser as it does in your hand.
The mug is made entirely of stoneware. Stoneware is a dense, hard-fired clay that holds heat well, which is just what you want around a hot drink. For everyday care it goes straight into the dishwasher, and it can go in the microwave and the oven as well, so warming up a forgotten coffee is no trouble. The inside is left plain, which makes it easy to judge how strong you have made your tea. For a relaxed display, hang it from a hook or line it up on a shelf beside plain stoneware, and let the hand-decorated blue arches do the work.
