Theo Tea Mug with coaster by Francis Cayouette

The tea mugs from the Theo range are restful to the eye and the soul. They are made of sand coloured stoneware, in the same style as the simple, Scandinavian, clean lines of the teapot. The mug has a sustainable, Asian bamboo coaster, which adds a warm look. The coaster prevents the tea cup from making rings on the table.
