Description
This cheerful stoneware mug is printed with two neat rows of halved apples running all the way round a soft cream body. The Vintage Apple design cuts each fruit a different way: some show a pair of pips, some a sunburst of fine lines, some a scatter of seeds or a leafy vein, all in bright red and soft pink with a rosy outer edge. Above every fruit sit two small leaves in olive green, pale grey and deep navy, which give the pattern its mid-century, retro feel. The inside and the rounded handle are a plain glossy cream, so the colour stays on the outside where you see it. It stands 8.5cm tall, 8.9cm wide and 13cm long, and holds approximately 350ml.
It is a straight-sided, sturdy shape that suits everyday tea and coffee at the kitchen table, a slow breakfast or a mid-morning break at your desk. At around 350ml it holds a generous brew without being unwieldy, and the wide opening makes it easy to drink from and easy to wash. The apple print sits happily in a country kitchen, a bright Scandi-style space or alongside other retro tableware, and it brings a little colour to a shelf of plain white mugs.
Made from stoneware, it weighs 382g, which gives it a solid, reassuring feel in the hand. It is dishwasher safe, so it can go straight in with the rest of the washing up after a busy morning. Now and then, a gentle hand wash in warm soapy water is always kind to a printed piece. For gifting, tuck it into a hamper with loose leaf tea, good coffee or a packet of shortbread, and you have a happy present that will be used every day. On the kitchen shelf, it looks lovely hung on a mug tree or lined up beside plain cream and pastel crockery.
