So Many Horses Mug 11.8 oz. from Dunoon
This stately mug from Dunoon Pottery features 29 different horses (30 if you count the one on the bottom) – they line the handle and two are even tucked on the inside of the mug itself. Artist Richard Partis has depicted a seeming encyclopedia of equine breeds, including Cleveland Bay, Highland, Fell, Clydesdale, Irish Draught, Suffolk Punch and many more. (Scotland makes a good showing in this informal catalog of equestrian husbandry!) The design brings to mind the elegant horse paintings of George Stubbs. These noble creatures and their history of assisting humans – in travel, in farming, in labor, in warfare and so many other endeavors – explains the special affection that people have for them. A terrific gift for horse lovers, young and old, made of bone china in the UK. Holding 11.8 oz. of coffee, tea or whatever you put in your mug, stands 3.5 inches tall and 3.5 inches in diameter. Heirloom quality, made by Dunoon Pottery, known for quality decorated drinking vessels – mug is really not the right word! Bone china is lighter weight than other ceramics. Please put a spoon in the mug before pouring in boiling water, or rinse the mug with warm water to bring the temperature up before adding your favorite hot beverage. DUE TO PROPOSITION 65, WE CAN NO LONGER OFFER DUNOON MUGS TO RESIDENTS OF CALIFORNIA.
