Object Indigo Storm Mug by Faye Toogood

£35

Sometimes looking after yourself starts with something as ordinary as making a nice cup of tea, and Faye Toogood’s Indigo Storm mug for 1882 Ltd. gives this small ritual a suitably artful vessel. Made from fine earthenware, the design emerged from experiments with pigment that does not fully blend into the slip, leaving deep blue whorls and irregular marks across a cream ground. The palette nods to traditional English Delftware, while Toogood’s interest in chance and material imperfection keeps things decidedly contemporary. Keep it close for the morning coffee or the tea before bed. A very good mug can do a surprising amount for the mood.
