Description
This white stoneware mug owns up to its contents with a wink. On one side, the words "this isn't tea, it's wine" run across in fine black lettering, with "wine" picked out in gold script over a soft pink brushstroke. Beside them, a small figure in a pink skirt and a glittering gold top reaches up to a tall green bottle with a gold heart on its label, surrounded by tiny gold stars and hearts. The top of the handle carries one more word, "cheers", for whoever is holding it. It holds 350ml and stands 8.5cm tall, 13cm wide and 12cm deep, with a rounded body that widens gently towards its base.
This is a mug for everyday breaks: the first tea of the morning, the mid-afternoon coffee, the hot chocolate at the end of a long day. At 350ml it holds a proper cupful, so it earns its place in the cupboard rather than sitting on a shelf, and the joke lands every time someone glances across the kitchen table or the desk at work. As a gift it is light-hearted and easy to give, a small present that raises a smile without needing a big occasion.
The mug is made from stoneware and finished in a smooth, glossy white glaze, with the gold detail and soft pink and green illustration set on top. It sits flat on its base and has a generous loop handle with room for your fingers. To keep the gold lettering bright, we suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, as is good practice for decorated stoneware. For a gift, tuck a teabag inside for the punchline, or keep it for yourself and let the words do the talking.
