Product Features
Classy and beautiful, these fine bone china mugs feature vibrant, detailed marine illustrations by Dr Lindsay Marshall, bringing a touch of natural history to your daily tea or coffee. The 10oz flared mug is ideal for tea and coffee, with a generous capacity and smooth flared lip, while the 8oz straight-sided mug is perfect for espresso or a smaller, stronger coffee. Fine bone china is lighter, smoother, and more refined than a standard ceramic mug, with a thinner, more comfortable rim and a creamy white shade that shows artwork beautifully. Where a normal ceramic mug feels chunky and rugged for everyday use, these mugs feel more like special pieces of tableware, suited to gifting, collecting, and quiet cuppas you actually sit down to enjoy.
Creamy white porcelain
Fine bone china mugs are dishwasher and microwave safe, but for longevity hand wash with a mild detergent and avoid abrasive cleaners.
Each mug comes in a box and is swaddled lovingly in Lindsay’s custom-designed lanternshark tissue paper with a swing tag and (when needed) further protected in environmentally friendly, recyclable hex wrap, ready to gift or ship safely to its new home.
