Winnie Stoneware Mugs 370ml Set of 4 - Cream

These are four stoneware mugs, each holding 370ml, which makes them proper mugs for a full tea or a large milky coffee rather than dainty cups. Every one is cream, finished in a reactive glaze that drifts in soft, uneven patches across the body, over the handle and down the inside of each mug, so no two of the four carry quite the same marking. Stoneware holds heat well, which suits an unhurried morning drink. Each mug is 9cm across and 10cm tall, with a rounded body that narrows gently towards the rim and a generous loop handle that leaves room for your fingers.

As a set of four, they cover the morning round of tea for a household, or coffee for friends at the weekend. Put them to everyday work: tea, coffee, hot chocolate, or a cup of soup on a cold afternoon. The cream sits easily beside plain white tableware and earthy stoneware alike, and the mugs look as much at home on an open kitchen shelf or behind the glass of a dresser as on a breakfast tray carried up on a Sunday. Ready matched in four, they also make a good housewarming gift for someone setting up a first kitchen.

Care is simple. They go in the dishwasher and in the microwave, so a coffee that has gone cold can be warmed again in its own mug; they can go in the oven too. The finish is a reactive glaze, which shifts and runs as it fires, so the variation from one mug to the next belongs to the finish itself rather than being a flaw. To display them, hang the four from hooks beneath a shelf, handles facing the same way, or line them up on open shelving, where the changing glaze reads best side by side.

Can these mugs go in the dishwasher?

Yes. The maker states they can go in the dishwasher, and in the microwave and the oven as well, so everyday care is straightforward.

How much does each mug hold?

Each mug holds 370ml, a generous mug size with plenty of room for a full tea, a large milky coffee or a hot chocolate.

How big are the mugs?

Each one is 9cm across and 10cm tall, with a rounded body that narrows a little towards the rim and a roomy loop handle.

What is the material of the mugs?

They are made of 100% stoneware with a cream reactive glaze that covers the inside of each mug as well as the outside and the handle.

Will all four mugs look the same?

Not exactly. A reactive glaze settles differently on every piece as it fires, so each of the four carries its own pattern of soft patches over the cream.

How many mugs come in the set?

The set contains four mugs, all in the same cream reactive glaze and the same 370ml size, ready for a household or as a gift.
