Round Lemon Slice Earthenware Mug with Loop Handle - Yellow

Description

DescriptionThis round earthenware mug is made to look like a freshly cut lemon. The outside is a bright, glossy yellow dappled with darker flecks like real peel. Inside, just below a yellow rim, a pale cream ring frames yellow segments, so looking down into it is like looking into half a lemon. It stands 7cm tall and measures 12cm from front to back. It has a low, wide shape with a rounded bowl, a small foot and a generous loop handle with room for your fingers.
The wide, open bowl suits a slow cup of milky coffee, a frothy cappuccino, a hot chocolate or a proper cup of tea, the sort you wrap both hands around on a grey morning. Its sunny colour brings a cheerful note of summer to the breakfast table. It looks just as much at home on a desk, a kitchen shelf or an open dresser between brews. It sits happily alongside other yellow, citrus or Mediterranean pieces in a bright kitchen, and adds a welcome splash of colour to plain white tableware.
Made from earthenware, a traditional ceramic, it has a glossy glaze inside and out that keeps the yellow rich and the cream ring crisp. As with any earthenware, we suggest washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. Treat it kindly, since a knock against a hard sink or tap can chip the glaze. For a relaxed weekend brunch, set it on a white saucer or a wooden board beside a plate of pastries. Or keep it on an open shelf where its colour can be enjoyed even when the kettle is off.
