In our experience...
Educational mugs are one of Dunoon's longest running product styles. The Glencoe shape's flared top and large surface area have made it a popular canvas for informative designs covering subjects from herbalism to professions for many years.
Herbal remedy illustration traditionally pairs a plant with its use. Showing common plants alongside their healing properties follows a long tradition in herbal reference books, where an illustration and its practical use are presented together.
Bone china gets its name from its bone ash content. Fine bone china is made by adding bone ash to the clay mixture, which gives the finished piece a distinctive translucency and a lighter weight than standard ceramic of the same size.
A flared top changes how a design is read around a mug. Unlike a straight-sided shape, a flared top means the upper part of an illustration sits on a wider surface than the base, which designers account for when laying out a pattern.
Two illustrators working on one design often split subject matter and detailing. Crediting two artists on a single pattern, as with Caroline Dadd and Kathy Pickles here, often reflects a collaborative approach where different plants or elements are worked on separately before being brought together.
