What it is

A stoneware mug with a bee drawn on each side, small and specific rather than decorative. Stoneware has weight to it — the mug sits in the hand instead of perching in it, and holds heat longer than thin china does.

A drawing on each side means the bee faces the room whichever way the mug is set down, and whichever hand reaches for it. Stoneware is a dense, heavy-bodied ceramic, which is where both the weight and the heat retention come from. One of the drawings Sophie Allport makes from her Lincolnshire studio.

A mug is a small thing to be particular about, and most households end up particular anyway: there is always one that is somebody's. The kind of mug that quietly becomes theirs.

For a tea drinker, a desk that needs improving on a Tuesday, or someone who keeps a bee-friendly corner of the garden and will not stop talking about it.

A small parcel tied with twine and a blank card on an oak table.

Presentation

Every order is packed by hand. Just the items, simply wrapped is how it travels unless you say otherwise, and it costs nothing. A presentation level dresses it for giving — one for the whole order, chosen in your basket.

The Garland +£7.50: gift box, tissue wrap, ribbon, handwritten note card, dried-botanical sprig
The Wreath +£15: keepsake rigid box or basket, shredded-paper nest, ribbon, handwritten note card, dried-botanical arrangement, wax seal

Add the handwritten card at checkout and we write your message out by hand. How we wrap.

Our promise

Every piece here is chosen on its own merits by a person who has handled the alternatives and set most of them aside. Some of what we sell we make ourselves; the rest is made by other people and chosen by us, and we say which is which.

If it arrives damaged, faulty or not as described, we replace it or refund it, and we pay the return postage. Our Promise, written down.

Not sure this is the one? The Bud is composed by hand around pieces like it, and the contents stay a secret until it is opened.
