Description
This cheerful stoneware mug carries a message every dad deserves to hear with his morning tea: so glad you're my Dad, set in bold, curling green lettering. The phrase is printed on both sides, so it reads the right way round whichever hand he drinks with, and tiny yellow stars and dots scatter around the letters. The body is a clean glazed white, while the inside and the handle are a sunny yellow that picks up the stars on the front. It holds 11oz, a generous cup of tea or coffee, and stands 9.8cm tall and 8.5cm from front to back.
We think of it first as a Father's Day gift, the kind that says what a card might leave unsaid and then goes on saying it every morning. It suits any dad who has a mug he always reaches for: by the kettle in the kitchen, on his desk at work, in the shed or garage for an afternoon brew, or at the bedside with an early cup. Its retro lettering looks just as happy in a modern kitchen as among mismatched mugs in the cupboard. It is a lovely choice from a son or daughter, and an easy one to wrap or hand over with breakfast on the day.
The mug is made from stoneware, a sturdy ceramic, with a smooth glazed finish inside and out that wipes clean easily. To keep the print bright, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. For a fuller gift, fill it with his favourite teabags, a bag of good ground coffee or a few wrapped sweets, tie a ribbon around the handle and let the yellow inside do the rest. It is a small present he will reach for long after the day itself.
