Description
This stoneware mug carries a pair of robins perched side by side on a trailing sprig of green leaves and red berries, with the words merry christmas printed in soft grey lettering beneath them. The robins have a gentle watercolour look, their red breasts, brown wings and touches of blue standing out against the clean white glaze. It holds 400ml, so there is room for a generous tea, coffee or hot chocolate, and it stands 10cm tall, 14cm wide and 9cm deep. A wide loop handle and plain straight sides keep the look simple and cheerful.
We like to bring it out at the start of December, ready for slow mornings, afternoons spent wrapping presents and a warm drink after a frosty walk. The two robins sitting together give it a friendly, homely feel, and it sits happily beside everyday crockery in the kitchen or on an open shelf. It makes a thoughtful Christmas gift with its cheerful birds and festive greeting, and it is easy to tuck into a stocking, add to a festive hamper or leave on a desk at work as a small surprise.
Stoneware is a dense, sturdy ceramic, and the smooth glaze gives the mug a soft sheen that is easy to wipe clean. As general good practice, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth to keep the robin print looking bright from one December to the next. Fill it with a few wrapped chocolates or a bag of good loose tea before you hand it over, or keep it for yourself and let it be the first sign each year that Christmas has arrived in your home.
