Dunoon Lomond Blue Ocean Seahorse Mug

The Dunoon Lomond Blue Ocean Seahorse Mug takes the straight-sided Lomond shape, a smaller version of Dunoon's Cairngorm mug, and wraps it in marine illustrations of seahorses, jellyfish, and other sea life rendered in shades of blue. The straight sides give the design plenty of room to work across the whole surface, and a well-shaped strap handle makes the mug comfortable to hold even with a full 0.32 litre capacity. It's made from fine bone china, handcrafted in Staffordshire using methods refined over three generations within the same family pottery business.
