Description
This porcelain cup carries a watercolour portrait of a black and white dairy cow, her big ears out wide and her gaze straight at you, set against a scatter of soft blue paint splashes. Inside, the words THE DAIRY COW run all the way round the rim in neat black capitals, so the name greets you with every sip. The cream finish gives the painting a warm, gentle background rather than a stark white one. It holds 340ml, a generous cup of tea or coffee, and stands 8cm tall, 13cm wide and 10cm deep, a wide, low shape that sits comfortably in both hands.
It is a cup for slow mornings at the kitchen table, a mid-afternoon break at a desk or a tea tray by the fire, and the farmhouse feel of the painting sits happily with country kitchens, open shelves and dressers. The cow appears on both sides of the cup, so the cow is on show whichever hand you hold it in. We think it makes a thoughtful new home gift for someone setting up their first kitchen or moving out to the country, given on its own or with a bag of good tea or coffee.
The cup is porcelain with a smooth cream finish, a rounded loop handle with room for your fingers and a flat base that sits steady on the table. For everyday care, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which is gentle on the printed decoration over years of use. Line it up with other farmhouse pieces on a dresser shelf, or wrap it in tissue with a note for a housewarming, and it will be in use from the first morning in the new place.
