TEAPOTS
There is no better way to brew loose leaf tea than in a proper teapot, and our range of fine bone china teapots — made in Stoke-on-Trent and designed to complement our Menagerie mug range — brings together beauty, quality and practicality in equal measure.
In general, our bone china mugs are made in Stoke-on-Trent — the birthplace of English bone china. They are designed by some of Britain's finest contemporary ceramics designers. Beautifully gift boxed and the perfect vessel for loose leaf tea, these are mugs built to be loved.
By contrast, bone china mugs have a quality that no ordinary ceramic can match. The formula of fine white clay and bone ash has defined the very best British pottery for over two centuries. The result is exquisitely translucent yet impressively strong. You can feel the quality the moment you pick one up.
Bone China Mugs — Craft and Quality
Indeed, bone china was invented in Stoke-on-Trent, and the city has been the world capital of ceramics ever since. Every one of our bone china mugs is made there, using the same fine white clay and bone ash formula. Light in the hand and elegant in appearance, they are built to be used and enjoyed every day.
Moreover, our bone china mugs and jugs are designed by Gillian Naylor and Mark Faulkner. They are the creative duo behind our much-loved Menagerie teapot collection. The ranges sit beautifully alongside each other. Inspired by the art of découpage, the Menagerie design features a giraffe, an owl and richly illustrated flora and fauna.
Our Bone China Mugs — Built for Every Day
Furthermore, our bone china mugs are not just beautiful — they are thoroughly practical. We have road-tested every mug in our range to ensure a drip-proof pour. All are dishwasher safe, microwave safe and easy to maintain. We recommend a mild liquid detergent rather than abrasive tablets or powders.
Care, Gifting and Perfect Pairings
Additionally, for tea stains, a teaspoon of percarbonate of soda mixed with warm water works perfectly on bone china mugs. Whether you pair them with a matching Menagerie teapot or let them stand alone, they are guaranteed to earn admirers. A beautiful gift for any tea lover.
