Daylesford Leaf Green Mug

An elegant addition to your dining table. Individually hand-painted by artisans in India. The fine ceramic stoneware is made from clay sourced in Rajasthan, every piece is unique and bears the mark of the maker’s hand."As a tea-drinker, I’d always been of the view that there was no such thing as a mug that was too big, but when, recently, I went back on coffee after many years, I realised that a new strategy was needed if I were to avoid over-caffeinating myself on a daily basis. So I set off on a search for a small mug, perfect for a strong black coffee when more than an espresso cupful is required, and couldn’t find any that I could bear to live with. And then I found this! Not only is just the size I was after, but it’s so beautiful with it. Even though it’s chunky, it is completely charming, and makes me happy even when my first long black of the day is painfully early. If you plan to give one as a Christmas present, do remember to pad it well before wrapping. And I think it would be rather lovely to fill up the mug first, and very festively, with Quality Street." - Nigella Lawson
