Every Aussie family has a dessert queen, and in most families she is called Nana, so this nana mug crowns her properly. She turns up to every celebration with a pavlova balanced on her lap, and it is always the first thing to disappear.
This nana mug crowns her officially. It is cute, it is cheeky and it is very, very Australian, just like the pav itself.
Whether she is a meringue perfectionist or a proud store-bought-base-and-loads-of-cream nana, she has earned the crown.
A nana mug fit for a queen
The pav is serious business. Some nanas guard their recipe like a state secret. Others have a strict rule about which fruit goes on top. All of them know their pavlova is the best one at the table.
This mug celebrates that pride. It is a playful tribute to the woman who keeps the family traditions going, one dessert at a time.
It also makes a great hint. Hand it over at the start of the year, and you may find yourself with a guaranteed pav at every family gathering.
The kawaii pavlova design
The artwork is drawn in a sweet kawaii style. A small, round nana with a grey bun, round glasses and rosy cheeks wears a sparkly gold crown and a red royal cape.
She proudly holds up a big pavlova piled with whipped cream, sliced strawberries, kiwi fruit and passionfruit, while little sparkles twinkle around her.
NANA is written above her in rounded navy letters, and Queen of the Pav sits below. Thick, friendly outlines keep everything crisp on the white mug.

The great pavlova debate
Australians and New Zealanders have argued for decades about who invented the pavlova. Nana does not care. As far as she is concerned, the best pav in the world comes out of her oven, and the debate is settled.
Fruit toppings are another matter entirely. Strawberries and kiwi fruit? Passionfruit drizzled over the top? Mango in summer? Every nana has firm views, and this mug shows a royal combination of all three.
Whatever her style, the crown fits. Long may she reign over the dessert table.
