Description
This cheerful stoneware mug puts a winter twist on an old saying, with UP TO SNOW GOOD printed in chunky soft yellow capitals across a bright orange body. The handle and the inside are a sunny yellow, so the colour carries on right down to the last sip, and the whole mug has a glossy finish that catches the light on a winter windowsill. It stands 9.8cm tall and 8.5cm deep and holds 340ml, which is a proper full mug of tea, coffee or hot chocolate. The classic straight sided shape sits steadily on the table and the rounded handle gives room for a comfortable grip.
With its snow pun and warm colours, this is a mug for the Christmas season, whether it comes out each December for the festive mornings or stays in the cupboard all year for anyone who likes a little mischief with their brew. It makes a fun small Christmas gift on its own, and it is easy to dress up: pop in a sachet of hot chocolate, a few marshmallows or a bag of good coffee, wrap it in tissue and it is ready to go under the tree. At the office it brightens a desk through the darker months, and at home it adds a splash of colour to a kitchen shelf.
The mug is made from stoneware, a type of ceramic, with a glossy glaze over the orange body and the yellow handle and interior. As good general practice for glazed ceramics, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft tea towel, which keeps the print and the colours looking bright for longer. Hang it from a mug tree by its handle or line it up on an open shelf with the printed side facing out, so the joke greets everyone who walks into the kitchen on a frosty morning.
