Description
This porcelain cup and saucer brings Piglet from Winnie the Pooh to the tea table, sitting shyly among a meadow of flowers. The cup is glazed cream on the outside with a soft pink interior and a matching pink handle, and it rises from a neat footed base in the shape of a traditional teacup. Around Piglet, blue and pink flowers grow on slender green stems, with a tiny bee drifting past. The pale pink saucer carries the words "It's always better together" in a deeper pink ring around its well, written twice over with small flower motifs between. With the cup in place, the set stands 10cm tall and measures 15cm wide and 15cm deep.
The cup holds 240ml, enough for a proper cup of tea with room for milk, so this is a piece for using rather than keeping behind glass. It suits a slow weekend breakfast, an afternoon cup with a slice of cake, or a quiet moment at the end of the day, and it sits happily on a dresser shelf or a kitchen windowsill between brews. The cream and pink colouring settles easily into a light kitchen or a cottage-style dining room, and the gentle drawing of Piglet keeps the look soft and calm. It brings a little of the Winnie the Pooh stories to any tea tray.
Both pieces are porcelain with a smooth, glossy glaze. The decoration sits on the outside of the cup, so the pink interior stays plain, and the footed base settles into the well of the saucer, framed by its ring of words. As with any decorated porcelain, we suggest washing the cup and saucer by hand in warm soapy water and drying them with a soft cloth to keep the colours fresh. Set it out with a teapot and a plate of biscuits, or wrap it with a favourite loose-leaf tea for a small, thoughtful gift.
