Description
This white porcelain mug carries Ariel in soft pencil-sketch drawings, finished with a bright gold rim and a gold handle. Around the outside she swims with her long hair flowing and her tail curling beneath her, and in one drawing a little fish peeps over her shoulder. Her name runs across the side in looping script among a scatter of tiny bubbles. The gloss finish lets the grey line work sit crisply on the white. It is a round, straight-sided mug standing 8cm tall, 11.5cm wide and 9cm deep, a neat size for smaller hands.
Look inside and there is a small surprise: the words 'Part of your world' are written in black script on the base, appearing as the last sip goes. We think that little detail makes it a lovely gift for a young Ariel fan aged three to twelve. Between drinks it sits happily on a bedroom shelf as a keepsake, and at breakfast it brings a little sparkle to the table. The drawings wrap around both sides, so whichever way the handle faces, there is a picture of her to enjoy.
The mug is porcelain, and the gold rim and handle give it a gilded look that catches the light. To keep the gold bright, we would wash it gently by hand in warm soapy water with a soft cloth and dry it straight away, avoiding scouring pads, which can wear metallic decoration. As with any porcelain, handle it with care and set it down on a flat, steady surface. For a gift, tuck a sachet of hot chocolate inside, wrap it in tissue and it becomes a present that stays on the shelf long after it has been opened.
