Blue Campervan Fine Bone China Mug

A repeating illustration of a pale blue camper van, surfboard strapped to the roof, runs around white fine bone china. The drawing is done in fine line with soft colour, so the pattern reads as a sketch rather than a printed graphic. The shape is straight-sided with a generous loop handle.

Capacity is 370ml, so it is a proper mug rather than a teacup. It is dishwasher and microwave safe, which means no special handling to remember after breakfast.

• Fine bone china
• 370ml capacity
• Dishwasher and microwave safe
• Supplied gift boxed

It comes gift boxed, ready to hand over as it is, which suits the man who still talks about a week spent parked near a beach. Left on a desk or in a kitchen cupboard, it is the mug that gets picked out first.
