This is a mug by Dunoon China, Staffordshire England in a set called Cottage Life designed by Richard Partis, all sold separately. The bone china mug is in the Devon shape and measures 4.15 inches by 3 inches in diameter. This design was actually discontinued several years ago, but I pestered Dunoon into ransacking the archives and finding me some overlooked pattern decals in 2004. This mug is a timbered tile roofed cottage with children, chickens, people at their daily tasks and generally nostalgic scenes from the close of the victorian era by a well loved artist. The mug has it's original sticker but during manufacture the decal of hollyhocks and a cottage against the sky on the handle was applied upside down. I didn't notice myself for 3 days and it probably doesn't matter but I thought you should know. It's probably because I pestered them & flustered them. The error doesn't detract from the beauty and usefulness of this hard-to-find mug which is now no longer available but I have discounted the price because it isn't perfect.
