Dunoon Henley Heelan Coos Mug
The Dunoon Henley Heelan Coos Mug is built on Henley, one of the largest capacities in the Dunoon range at 0.6 litres, with a comfortable strap handle and gently concave sides. It is decorated with a playful illustrated scene of Highland cows, known as Heelan Coos, alongside rabbits and flowers in a series of poses. The mug is made from fine bone china, handcrafted in Staffordshire using methods refined over three generations within the same family pottery business, and its generous size makes it well suited to a full mug of tea or coffee.
