Description
This stoneware cup and saucer says thank you to a favourite teacher with a gentle wildflower design and a kind message. The off-white cup carries the word 'TEACHER' with 'you are so lovely' beneath it in soft grey lettering, set among red and blush flowers, blue bellflowers, a butterfly and a tiny snail. Its handle, foot and inside are a soft lilac, and the matching saucer is edged with a pale blue line and circled with little flowers, a hedgehog, a bee, a strawberry and a hopping rabbit, plus the words 'you are so wonderful'. The cup holds 300ml, and together the two pieces measure 10cm high, 16cm wide and 16cm deep.
It makes a thoughtful thank-you gift for a teacher who has made a real difference, and a cheerful one to give with a handwritten card from the class. In the staffroom it brings a little brightness to the break between lessons, and at home it suits a quiet cup of tea at the kitchen table or a coffee on the sofa after a long day. At 300ml the cup holds a proper mugful rather than a dainty sip, so it earns a place in the daily routine, while the saucer catches drips and gives a biscuit somewhere to rest.
Both pieces are made from stoneware, with the flowers, creatures and lettering applied as decals for crisp, colourful detail. The rounded cup stands on a small lilac foot, and the saucer has a shallow well at its centre to hold it steady. To keep the print looking its best, we would wash both pieces by hand in warm soapy water and dry them with a soft cloth. For a heartfelt thank you, wrap it in tissue with a note from the class, or add a box of their favourite tea bags so the first cup is ready to make.
