Decorated with a hand-painted watercolour illustration of adorable downy ducklings, this mug is instantly recognisable as one of Wrendale Designs' animal and countryside-inspired pieces.
This giftable bone china mug is smooth to the touch and dishwasher, freezer and microwave safe for everyday use.
After leaving her job as a London stockbroker for a quieter life in the Lincolnshire countryside, Cambridge-educated Hannah Dale explored her artistic side. Painting a range of characterful animals from her surroundings, Hannah's watercolour creations were a huge hit. Soon after, Wrendale Designs was created and the rest is history.
Choose the perfect china
All our china is made from clay and kiln-fired for durability. Except for pieces with special trims, everything is dishwasher-safe. Below are a few options to consider when choosing your perfect china.
| Earthenware | Strong and practical, earthenware is often a little thicker than other ceramics, making it ideal for everyday use. |
| Stoneware | Fired at high temperatures, stoneware is very tough and heat-resistant. It comes in a number of different glaze finishes. |
| Porcelain | Affordable yet luxurious, porcelain is renowned for its translucency. Fired at high temperatures, porcelain has an extremely tough glazed surface, making it durable. |
| Fine china | The synthetic bone ash used in fine china makes it a more affordable alternative to bone china. Like bone china, it's strong, translucent and delicate, and creamier in colour. |
| New bone china | A type of porcelain with added calcium oxide to achieve a similar aesthetic as bone china, but without animal bone ash. |
| Bone china | White bone china is the strongest and most translucent ceramic. Though it looks delicate, it's tough enough for daily use and is usually dishwasher-safe. It contains at least 35% bone ash. |
