year of the snake - cairngorme mug

Dunoon Year of the Snake Cairngorm Shape Mug 

Embellished with real gold leaf, this mug, inspired by 15th-century Chinese pottery, features a beautiful illustration by artist David Broadhurst. It depicts two wonderfully detailed snakes that slither across a delicate green leaf-patterned surface, one facing in each direction and crossing over each other. At the top and bottom of the mug, there is a gold and turquoise patterned strip, which brings the piece together. The design continues down the handle, and on the inside rim of this fabulous mug is a small motif reflecting the snake design on the outside. This mug would make the perfect gift for anyone celebrating The Year of The Snake! Ideal for anyone with a passion for reptiles and patterns.

Real Gold Leaf

This mug is beautifully embellished with 22 carat gold and exquisite silver, adding an extra special touch and making it a great gift. This does, however, mean that it is not safe for the microwave.

Cairngorm

Named after the Scottish Mountains of the same name, is a larger version of the Lomond shape mugs. It has a gentle slope to the body and a curved handle. With a range of fabulous designs to choose from this 'oversized' mug is a must. With a capacity of 480ml they are both dishwasher and microwave safe, with the exception of any mugs with gold embellishment.
