Emma Bridgewater Black Toast I Love My Dad Half Pint Boxed Mug Dad will enjoy his brew or morning coffee in this fabulous tankard style mug that has been especially named for him! This mug from Emma Bridgewater featured the classic Black Toast font designed by Matthew Rice, set upon the cream ceramic. The front of the mug reads; ‘MY Dad Loves to Read the Newspapers’, the text continues on the back and reads ‘But Quite Often he is Asleep’. This is the perfect mug for a Dad who loves a good nap after reading the news. Whether it’s his Birthday, Christmas, or just to show him that you care, this mug will be used often. A great gift for your Dad! Black Toast Range Focusing on typography and orderly patterns created from lines of text,  Black Toast  is a simple but undeniably stylish range. The letters themselves are designed by Emma Bridgewater\'s husband, Matthew Rice, who has had an interest in lettering since his school days. Combined with the black and light cream colour scheme, this range is both sophisticated and elegant. Works wonderfully with the  Marmalade  range from  Emma Bridgewater .
