Description
This light blue porcelain mug says what the whole family already knows, with "THE BEST grandad" lettered across the front in gold. The words sit on two lines, a row of spaced capitals above a large lower-case "grandad", so the message reads clearly from across the table. The outside has a soft matt finish in a calm light blue, and the inside is a cheerful surprise: white, with slightly wavy stripes of yellow and pale blue running down from the rim. The handle is a round ring that is easy to hook a finger through, giving the mug a playful, modern outline. It stands 8.5cm tall, 15cm wide and 9cm deep, with a low, straight-sided shape that sits neatly on a worktop or side table.
It is made for grandad's daily cup of tea or coffee, whether that is the first brew of the morning in the kitchen, a mid-afternoon break at his desk or a quiet cup in his favourite armchair. We think it makes a thoughtful gift for a grandad from his grandchildren, a simple way to tell him he is appreciated every time he puts the kettle on. It is just the thing for a grandad who likes a mug of his own that nobody else in the house dares to borrow.
The mug is porcelain, with a crisp white rim where the striped inside meets the matt blue outside, and the gold lettering stands out cleanly against the soft surface. As good practice for porcelain with gold decoration, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water with a soft cloth and drying it straight away, which helps keep the lettering and the matt finish looking their best. For a gift that feels complete, tuck a few of his favourite tea bags inside, or fill it with wrapped sweets and tie a ribbon through the ring handle.
