Description
This stoneware mug has softly fluted sides and a speckled green glaze that gives an everyday cup of tea a bit of quiet character. The glaze is at its lightest near the rim, where a frosty white speckle sits over sage green, and it deepens into a richer grey-green towards the base. A fine sandy line picks out the rim and runs down each of the vertical ribs, so the panels catch the light as you turn it in your hand. The body tapers gently from the rim to a narrower foot, the inside is glazed in the same speckled green, and an open loop handle sits at the side. It measures 10cm tall, 13cm wide and 9cm deep.
It is a mug for the slow moments: the first coffee of the morning at the kitchen table, a mid-afternoon tea at your desk, or a hot chocolate on the sofa once the evening draws in. The soft green suits a farmhouse or Scandi-style kitchen, sits happily beside natural wood and linen, and looks just as at home on an open shelf or a dresser as it does in use. We think it makes a thoughtful new home gift, a small, useful thing for someone setting up their first kitchen or unpacking in a new place.
Stoneware is a dense ceramic, and the glazed finish covers the mug inside and out, with the speckle giving it a soft, earthy look. To keep the glaze looking its best, wash it in warm soapy water, rinse and dry it with a soft cloth, and skip the scouring pads. Hang it from a mug tree or a row of hooks, where its fluted sides stay on show. For a ready-made new home present, tuck a bag of good coffee or loose-leaf tea inside it, or keep it for yourself and let it become the mug everyone reaches for first.
