Description
This cream cup carries a bright pheasant print, the bird standing proud on a patch of rough ground with his long barred tail sweeping back along the side. His feathers are picked out in rich reds, oranges and russet, with a dark blue head, a red face patch and a pale wing, all set against the plain cream. Around the inside of the rim the words The Highland Pheasant run in neat black capitals, a small detail you notice with every sip. The cup is round and wide at the top, narrowing gently towards the base, and stands 8cm tall, 13cm wide and 10cm deep. It holds 340ml, a generous measure for a proper cup of tea or a milky coffee.
With a pheasant on the side, it sits happily in a country kitchen, on a farmhouse dresser or at a cottage breakfast table, and it brings a cheerful note to a desk at work too. The wide mouth makes it easy to drink from and quick to stir, while 340ml leaves room for a splash of milk without filling to the brim. Hang it from a mug tree or line it up on an open shelf with the bird facing out.
The handle is a smooth open loop with room for your fingers, and the flat base lets the cup sit steadily on a table or saucer. The print runs across one face, with the long tail reaching round towards the handle. To keep the colours bright, we suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. Tucked into a hamper with a packet of good tea or fresh coffee, it makes a thoughtful present, and it is just as welcome on your own kitchen shelf.
