The SS Great Britain is closed until Friday 27th December while our hardworking crew takes a well-earned rest. All orders will be posted on 30th December.
Designed in a collaboration between artist Bev Milward and the SS Great Britain, these unique china mugs feature a beautiful artist's impression of the puddings and cakes which would have been eaten by first class passengers at sea.
Inspired by the antique Victorian china used on board the ship, as well as the modern-day experience of visiting the SS Great Britain as a museum, these limited edition mugs offer something different and striking.
Bev created these designs using her own sketches from a visit to the SS Great Britain. Each piece has been hand decorated with ceramic transfers before firing.
Bev is interested in the longevity and sentimentality of ceramics, how they infiltrate our lives and can be used as a tool for communication long after leaving the maker. This project combines history and long-lost artisan skills to create a product which feels both traditional and fresh at the same time.
Fine bone china
Dimensions: 90mm x 85mm
These mugs are dishwasher and microwave safe, however their life will be prolonged if they are hand-washed.
