Description
This is a Christmas mug in stoneware, made for the dark months when a hot drink held in both hands is half the pleasure. A row of spruce trees in two tones runs around the base, and small four-pointed stars are scattered across the yellow body above them, like a clear winter sky over a forest. It holds 350ml, a full everyday mug size rather than a dainty cup, so there is room for a proper tea with milk or a large coffee. It measures 9cm across and 10cm tall and weighs 0.264KG, light to carry but with a pleasing weight in the hand.
It belongs on the kitchen counter and the breakfast table through December, and by the sofa for slow mornings under a blanket with a hot chocolate. The body widens gently from foot to rim, and the handle is a large, open loop that is easy to hold whether the mug is full or nearly empty. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes their Christmas quietly done: tuck a packet of good tea or a few sachets of hot chocolate inside and it is ready to wrap.
The mug is 100% stoneware, and stoneware holds heat well, which is welcome on a cold morning. It is not for the dishwasher, so wash it by hand, and it is not for the microwave or the oven either, so warm milk in a pan and pour it in rather than heating it in the mug. The foot and the inside are left plain, which keeps the eye on the tree line and the stars. On a winter dresser it sits happily beside plain pieces, and at the table it looks at home next to wood and linen.
