Watered, waited on and worth bragging about.

This berry mug is for the gardener who checks the berry patch before checking the phone, with a cartoon grower giving a loaded bush its morning drink. Keep it by the kettle for your own coffee or tea, or wrap it for the neighbor who leaves a basket of fruit on your porch every summer.

The design: a gardener, a watering can and one very full bush

Across the top, the words BERRY PROUD curve in an arch of chunky hand-drawn capitals with dark outlines, every letter filled with its own flat, bright color like a row of crayons.

At the left stands a smiling cartoon gardener in a wide-brimmed straw hat and bib overalls, tipping a watering can so that white streams of water arc onto the plant. The bush is big, round and scalloped, dotted with lighter leaves and about a dozen bumpy red berries, each with a small leafy cap. It grows from a patch of brown soil, where a few small blueberries and crumbs of earth lie at the front.

A smiling sun with rays peeks out between the gardener and the lettering, with a gray cloud beside it and tufts of grass behind. Bold outlines and flat fills give the scene the look of a cartoon sticker. It is a picture of the patient part of growing fruit: the watering, the waiting and the quiet pride when the branches finally fill up.

Glossy ceramic with a bright lining

• Glossy ceramic with a white outside that gives the garden scene a clean background
• One accent shade runs around the rim, down the inside and along the handle, and the options let you pick it
• Printed on both sides, so the gardener is in view whether the handle points left or right
• Clean it gently with mild dish soap and a soft sponge, and leave the scouring pad in the drawer

Who it's for

Backyard berry growers, raised-bed tinkerers, community-garden regulars and the relative whose freezer is full of last summer's fruit. It sits well on a potting bench, a kitchen windowsill or a desk that could use a touch of the garden. It makes a fitting present at the start of planting season, on Mother's Day or Father's Day, or as a thank-you to whoever waters your beds while you travel.

Quick answers

What kind of berries are on the bush?

They are drawn as bumpy, clustered fruit, much like raspberries. The print does not name a plant, so the mug suits anyone who grows berries of any sort.

Does the bigger mug come in every shade?

The 11 oz comes in every shade. The 15 oz comes in some of them, and the size option shows which once you choose yours.

Is the gardener picking fruit?

Not yet. Nothing has been picked and there is no basket in sight, so the mood is about tending the plant and looking forward to what comes next.

Is anything printed opposite the handle?

No. The middle of the mug stays plain white between the two side prints.
