Description
This is a set of four stoneware mugs, each holding 525ml, which puts them firmly in large mug territory: a proper builder's tea, a long milky coffee or a generous hot chocolate fits comfortably. Each mug stands 11cm tall and 10.5cm across on a small footed base, with a wavy scalloped rim and a curved handle, both picked out in pink. The pattern comes in two designs, two mugs of each: one is covered in a close trellis of tiny sprigs, the other carries a single ornate medallion, both drawn in pink.
We see these as Christmas mugs first. The pink detailing suits a festive breakfast table, a tray carried up on Christmas morning or a round of mulled drinks after a winter walk, and the two designs look good mixed along a table. Once the decorations come down they sit just as happily in a kitchen cupboard or on an open dresser shelf for everyday tea and coffee. A matched four also makes a thoughtful gift for a couple, a first home or a household that takes its tea breaks seriously.
They are made entirely of stoneware with a glazed finish. Stoneware is dense and holds heat well, a useful quality in a mug this size. Care is straightforward: the mugs go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, and the maker lists them for food use, so they can go straight from the cupboard to the kettle and back to the dishwasher. When styling, alternate the two patterns rather than pairing them, and give the scalloped rims room on an open shelf or in a glass-fronted cabinet, where their shape shows between uses. The styling props shown are not included.
