A perfect gift for grandparents who love Tottering-by-Gently, featuring a fine bone china mug handmade in England and a beautifully illustrated 100% cotton tea towel.

The set showcases the beloved cartoons of Annie Tempest from the iconic Tottering-by-Gently, published in Country Life. Known for its witty and affectionate portrayal of British life, Tottering-by-Gently has delighted readers for decades.

The dishwasher-safe, fine bone china mug is crafted in Stoke-on-Trent, the historic home of English ceramics. Lightweight, strong and beautifully translucent, it offers the perfect balance of elegance and everyday practicality.

Paired with the mug is a 100% cotton tea towel made in Northern Ireland featuring the same humorous Tottering illustration celebrating the joys (and occasional chaos) of grandparenthood.

Together they make a thoughtful and distinctive gift for grandparents, ideal for birthdays, Christmas, or simply as a small token of appreciation.

Perfect for:

  • Grandma and Grandpa gifts
  • Grandparent birthday presents
  • Country Life readers
  • Tottering-by-Gently fans
  • Lovers of British humour

This delightful combination brings together traditional English craftsmanship and gentle countryside humour, creating a beautifully wrapped gift that will raise a smile every day.

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.
