Celebrate the charm of British countryside life — and man’s best friend — with this delightful pair of fine bone china mugs featuring Tottering-by-Gently cartoons by renowned British artist Annie Tempest.
This dog lovers’ mug set includes two beautifully illustrated mugs:

Each mug is handmade in Stoke-on-Trent, England from beautiful fine bone china, known for its elegant translucency, lightweight feel, and durability. The detailed cartoons are lithographically printed in vibrant colours that bring the humour and warmth of Annie Tempest’s work to life.

Materials
Materials
All Xavier Britain tableware is made from top grade English 'fine bone china'.
The ingredients used in making our ceramics, from the bone china body to the enamel colours and lithographs used in decoration, as well as the custom designed packaging are all sourced from and prepared by local suppliers in Stoke-on-Trent, England.
Dishwashers & Care Guide
Dishwashers & Care Guide
Fine bone china is one of the toughest ceramic materials on the market with high levels of calcium content.
Each item is dishwasher-safe, and will last for decades if not centuries.
Even items decorated with gold or hand-painted rims can be put in dishwashers. We do recommend using a cold or delicate setting to prevent tarnishing, however, as well as liquid detergent.
The only rule is that our china isn't put in a cupboard for special occasions. It's robust, resilient and ready to party!

Why fine bone china?
Fine bone china has been synonymous with luxury for centuries. With high levels of calcium content it is so thin it is translucent under the light, but also incredibly strong.
We believe it is the best material for tableware.
