Cornflowers have always had a cheerful, cottage-garden charm, and Emma Bridgewater's Cornflower half-pint mug captures it beautifully with hand-applied spongeware in cheerful blues. Made from 100% English earthenware and hand-decorated in Stoke-on-Trent, each mug carries small, natural variations in its sponging that make it genuinely one of a kind.

It stands 9cm tall and holds 300ml — plenty for a proper cup of tea. Dishwasher safe with a liquid detergent on a lower temperature wash recommended; not suitable for the microwave. Part of Emma Bridgewater's much-loved Flowers range.
