Dunoon Benmore Classic Bikes Mug
The Dunoon Benmore Classic Bikes Mug is built on Benmore, a larger version of Dunoon's popular Cairngorm shape, crafted from the same high quality fine bone china but with a generous 0.75 litre capacity, making it one of the largest bone china mugs available while keeping a light, premium feel. It is decorated with illustrations of well-loved classic motorbikes, from the Vincent Black Shadow to the Triumph Bonneville T120. The mug is handcrafted in Staffordshire using methods refined over three generations within the same family pottery business.
