Description
This earthenware mug is moulded as a little Christmas tree, built up in three layered tiers of glossy green with fine needle detail raised across every branch. Dabs of white snow sit on the boughs, pairs of red berries peep out between them, and a single red and white candy cane hangs at the front. Inside, the glaze is a soft cream, so tea, coffee or hot chocolate shows its true colour, and a smooth green loop handle sits on one side for an easy grip. It stands 9.2cm tall, 14cm wide and 11.3cm deep, and it holds 400ml, a generous mugful with room for a swirl of cream on top.
This is a mug for the Christmas months, when the evenings draw in and a hot drink feels like the best part of the day. Bring it out on the first cold weekend of December for hot chocolate after a winter walk, keep it by the kettle for the morning coffee, or set it out with the festive tableware on the breakfast table on Christmas morning. As a Christmas gift it suits anyone who loves the decorations going up, and filled with wrapped sweets or a sachet of cocoa it becomes a ready-made present to tuck under the tree.
The mug is made from earthenware under a high-gloss glaze, and the snow, berries and candy cane stand slightly proud of the surface, so the little tree has texture you can feel as you hold it. We suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which keeps the glaze bright and the raised details crisp. Wrap it in tissue with a bar of good chocolate for a gift that is ready to give, or keep it for yourself and bring it out of the cupboard each December alongside the tree decorations.
