{"product_id":"the-ashes-vintage-cricket-poster-stoneware-mug","title":"The Ashes Vintage Cricket Poster Stoneware Mug","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stoneware mug carries a cheerful vintage cricket poster from 1934, with a kangaroo and a lion squaring up behind their stumps on either side of a red ball. The kangaroo wears a green cap and points across the pitch, while the lion in its red cap raises a paw, both padded up and ready. A teal band runs along the base, lettered with Lord's and Oval, their May and June match dates and the stations at St Johns Wood and Oval. The artwork, in brown, yellow, black and red, sits on a warm cream glaze, with a cream interior and a plain rounded handle. The mug stands 8.5cm tall, measures 8.9cm across and 13cm long, and holds approximately 350ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a mug made for everyday use, from the first tea of the morning at the kitchen table to a mid-afternoon coffee and a biscuit at your desk. At approximately 350ml it holds a proper brew, and the poster art brings a nostalgic note of summer days at the cricket to any kitchen or office. It sits happily alongside plain crockery and adds a little colour and humour to a dresser or open shelf. Because the design tells a story of two famous grounds, it also makes a lovely conversation piece when friends come round for tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mug is made from stoneware with a smooth glazed finish, and it is dishwasher safe and microwave safe, so it is as easy to live with as any plain mug in the cupboard. It weighs 0.382KG, so it feels solid in the hand and sits steadily on the table. To keep the print bright over the years, a gentle wash and no scouring pads are good practice. As a gift, it pairs nicely with a packet of good loose-leaf tea or a tin of biscuits, and it is just as welcome wrapped on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStoneware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.9cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.382KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDishwasher safe.
