Description
This porcelain cup and saucer brings Tigger from the Winnie the Pooh stories to the tea table, sitting happily among a little meadow of flowers on the front of the cup. The cup is cream on the outside with a soft orange interior and handle, and it rises from a neat pedestal foot that gives it a classic teacup shape. The saucer is soft orange all over, with the words "Do what makes you happy" printed twice in a ring around the well, each line finished with a tiny flower. Together they measure 10cm tall and 15cm across, and the cup holds 240ml, enough for a proper cup of tea.
It is made for slow mornings and afternoon tea, whether that means a pot shared at the kitchen table or a quiet cup on a tray in the sitting room. The cheerful orange and cream suits a dresser shelf or a glass-fronted cabinet just as well between brews, and the motto on the saucer is a gentle nudge each time you lift the cup. For anyone who grew up with Tigger and his friends, it makes a warm, easy gift that feels thoughtful without being fussy, and it sits happily alongside plain white china.
Both pieces are porcelain with a smooth, glossy glaze, and the soft palette of cream, orange and sage green keeps the look calm rather than loud. The handle is an open loop with room for a couple of fingers, and the centre of the saucer has a shallow well where the foot of the cup sits neatly. We suggest washing it gently by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. As a gift, pair it with a packet of loose leaf tea or a small jar of honey, a fond nod to Pooh and his famous sweet tooth.
