Description
Our grey stoneware mug carries a detailed zebra head on its front, with the stripes, ears, eyes and muzzle drawn in fine pale lines against a soft matt finish. Its wax resistant decoration leaves the zebra and a neat band around the base in a warm cream tone, while the rest of the mug, inside and out, stays grey. It stands 9.2cm tall, 11.2cm wide and 8.8cm deep, a comfortable everyday size that sits neatly in the cupboard with your other mugs, and its straight sides and generous loop handle give it a relaxed, easy shape to hold.
It belongs wherever the day starts with a hot drink: beside the kettle in the kitchen, on a desk in the home office, or on a bedside table with a slow morning brew. The grey and cream colouring is quiet enough to sit alongside plain white crockery or other soft, earthy tones, and the zebra gives it a touch of character without shouting for attention. On open shelving or a mug tree it looks its best with the zebra turned to face the room, and it is just as at home in the staff kitchen as it is on the breakfast table for tea, coffee or hot chocolate.
Stoneware is a dense ceramic, fired hard, and the matt grey surface has a soft, even look that sets off the cream detail. As good general practice for decorated stoneware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth, which helps keep the finish and the zebra looking their best. For an easy gift, wrap it in tissue paper with a bag of favourite tea or coffee tucked inside, or give it a spot by the kettle and let the zebra greet you each morning.
