Description
This porcelain cup and saucer puts Eeyore, the much-loved donkey from Winnie the Pooh, at the heart of the tea table. He sits on the front of a cream footed cup among pink flowers on slender green stems, with a little bee buzzing beside him. The handle and the inside of the cup are glazed in pale blue, and the round saucer matches, with the words "Enjoy the little things" printed around the ring where the cup rests. The cup holds 240ml, a comfortable measure for a proper cup of tea, and together the two pieces stand 10cm tall, 15cm wide and 15cm deep.
It belongs on a breakfast tray, beside the armchair for an afternoon cuppa or on the kitchen table at a slow weekend teatime. The footed shape gives it the look of a traditional teacup, while the soft cream and pale blue keep it light and cheerful, so it sits happily with plain white tableware or alongside other floral china. Between brews it looks just as sweet on a dresser shelf or in a glass-fronted cabinet, where Eeyore's patient face and the gentle message on the saucer can be enjoyed every day. Eeyore's quiet, hopeful look brings a smile to the first cup of the morning.
Made from porcelain, the cup has a smooth glazed finish, a sturdy pedestal foot and a generous looped handle with room for your fingers. Eeyore and his flowers sit on one side only, leaving the back plain cream, and the printed words circle the centre of the saucer to frame the cup's foot. To keep the colours bright, we suggest washing both pieces gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying them with a soft cloth. Paired with a packet of favourite tea, it makes a thoughtful present, and it is just as welcome kept for yourself.
