Eloise is a rounded stoneware mug with a matching coaster and a little spoon that rests in a notch in the handle. You can also pop the coaster on top, to let your tea steep for a moment.

The steel blue version is the boldest of the four: no flowers, but a graphic pattern of vertical stripes edged with a row of dots.

What it looks like
