Description
This porcelain cup carries three woolly sheep standing shoulder to shoulder, their shaggy fleeces painted in soft peach and cream with dark faces, knees and feet. The flock appears on both sides of the cup, set against an off white body with a light scattering of grey splashes that gives the print a loose, painterly feel. Inside the rim, the words "The Woolly Flock" run all the way round in neat black capitals, a small detail that greets you each time you look into your drink. It holds 340ml and stands 8cm tall, 13cm wide and 10cm deep, with a wide, gently tapered body and a generous rounded handle.
It is a cheerful cup for the first tea of the morning at the kitchen table, a coffee at your desk or a hot chocolate on the sofa on a cold evening. At 340ml it is a good everyday measure, enough for a full cup of tea without being so big that the last of it goes cold. The off white body and soft country colours sit easily in a farmhouse kitchen, on a painted dresser or along open shelving, and the sheep look just as at home hanging from a cup hook as they do on a tray beside the teapot.
The cup is made from porcelain, with the sheep and the lettering inside the rim applied as a decal, and it has a smooth, glossy surface that is pleasant to hold. As general good practice for decorated porcelain, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which helps keep the print looking fresh for longer. Wrapped with a box of good tea or a bag of fresh coffee, it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who smiles at a field of sheep, or keep it for yourself and let the woolly flock start your day.
