With an ever-so-slightly fluted shape and beautifully formed handle, this Blue Italian cottage mug from Spode is a perfect everyday mug for tea and coffee. Featuring the instantly recognisable 18th century Oriental border which surrounds an Italian inspired countryside scene, Spode's beautiful blue and white collection was launched in 1816 and has been produced ever since. Despite this impressive heritage, the cottage mug is very much made for modern life and is microwave and dishwasher safe.
