Dunoon Benmore Classic Cars Mug
The Dunoon Benmore Classic Cars 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 cars, from the Aston Martin and Austin Healey through the Mini and Fiat 500, to the Volkswagen Beetle and Morris Minor. The mug is handcrafted in Staffordshire using methods refined over three generations within the same family pottery business.
