Outdoor chrysanthemums are happiest grown in full sun and shelter: a perfect excuse to treat yourself to a Chrysanthemum 1/2 Pint Mug and settle down in a sunny spot with tea and a page turner. And while you’re at it, how about a biscuit (or two, or three?) on the matching Chrysanthemum Small Side Plate, 6.5 Inch?

With its brightly hand-decorated orange and green flowers and cheery orange pattern on the inside of the rim, this has to be a pottery mug with the sunniest of dispositions.
