Description

This cheerful porcelain mug carries the words 'Teaching is a work of heart' in bold, rounded retro lettering, set on a red badge with a small pink heart at the top. Bands of teal, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple and pale blue run round its cream body, so the colour shows from every angle, and the message appears on both sides, facing out whichever hand holds it. Inside it is plain white, and the handle is the same warm cream as the body. It measures 9.5cm tall, 12cm wide and 8cm deep, a comfortable everyday size for a cup of tea or coffee.

We think it makes a thoughtful thank-you gift for a teacher, whether they lead a reception class, teach a secondary subject or run lessons for adults. It belongs on the staffroom shelf or the desk at the front of the classroom, ready for the first cup of the morning and the one that keeps the marking going after the bell. The sentiment says what so many parents, pupils and colleagues want to say, and the bright stripes make it easy to spot in a cupboard full of plain mugs. At home it brings a happy run of colour to the kitchen.

The mug is made of porcelain, a fine ceramic, with a smooth, glossy surface that shows the colours at their brightest. Its handle is a generous loop with room for your fingers, and the straight sides and flat base sit steadily on a desk or a kitchen table. To keep the print looking fresh, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. For a finishing touch, tuck a handwritten note or a few favourite teabags inside before you wrap it, and your thank-you will be used every day, long after the card has been put away.
