Maomao Herb Basket Ceramic Mug – Apothecary Diaries, Green

Before the rear palace, before the food tasting, Maomao was a girl with a basket on her back heading into the hills for herbs. This Maomao mug catches her in exactly that outfit, on a jade green mug sized for a proper pot's worth of tea.

Maomao herb basket mug in jade green

On one side Maomao stands in her green robe with a blue ribbon in her hair and the wooden herb basket strapped to her back, looking out with her usual flat, unimpressed calm. The other side is plain jade green with a white border of lattice corners, hanging tassels and a small plaque reading 猫猫, her name in characters. It is the look she wears whenever she slips off to gather something she probably should not touch.

What you get

• 1 ceramic mug: Maomao with her herb basket on jade green
• Name plaque and white lattice frame printed on the back
• 350 ml
• One design per page: the pink robe Maomao, violet Jinshi and Maomao & Jinshi mugs are sold separately
• Tea leaves and cordyceps not included

On the desk or as a gift

Use it for morning tea, a late study session or as a pen pot next to your notes on poisonous plants. It pairs with the violet Jinshi mug from the same set, which has the same frame and plaque on the back, and makes a thoughtful present for anyone who started the series for the herb lore.
