Description
This rounded porcelain mug carries soft pencil-style sketches of Marie, the little white kitten with a bow on her head, drawn in grey on a clean white ground. A band of gold lettering runs just under the rim, repeating her name between tiny hearts, and a gold rim and a glossy gold handle pick up the same warm tone. Around the base, a soft pink band finishes the look. It holds 400ml, which makes for a generous tea or coffee, and stands 8.8cm tall, 13.2cm wide and 10cm deep, with a plump, rounded body that sits comfortably in two hands.
It is a cheerful mug for the breakfast table, the desk or a quiet spot on the sofa, and it suits a slow morning brew as well as an afternoon hot chocolate. The sketches wrap around the body, so there is a different pose to enjoy whichever way you turn it: one kitten laughing with a paw raised, another sitting neatly and smiling, a third stepping out proudly with her eyes closed. Between cups, the white, gold and pink look pretty on an open shelf in a bright kitchen or a bedroom, and it makes a lovely gift.
The mug is porcelain with a decal finish, which carries the fine sketch lines, the lettering and the hearts, while the gold on the rim and handle adds a warm gleam. To keep that gold looking its best, we would wash it by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth rather than scrubbing it. Hang it on a mug tree or set it on a kitchen shelf where the sketches can be seen, or wrap it with a favourite tea or a bag of good coffee for a gift that is ready from the very first cup.
