For the men who appreciate a good laugh with their morning tea, The Old Git collection celebrates Dicky Tottering at his most delightfully idle.

This set of three fine bone china mugs, part of the Xavier Britain X Tottering-by-Gently collaboration, captures Dicky’s endearing resistance to effort: sharing quiet companionship with his loyal Labrador, conveniently vanishing when the grandchildren descend in full voice and stretching out on a sun lounger while Daffy keeps the garden (and household) running.

Handmade in Stoke-on-Trent, the home of British ceramics, each mug showcases Annie Tempest’s iconic Tottering-by-Gently cartoons, printed in bright, joyful colour on the finest English bone china. A perfect blend of craftsmanship and humour, they’re designed to bring a happy smile to every tea break.

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

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.
