Alison Gardiner National Trust range - Ashridge Estate Fine Bone China Mug From our National Trust Range celebrating the historical places of England, this fine bone china coffee mug depicts Ashridge Estate. Located in Hertfordshire, England, and with 5,000 acres of commons, woodland and chalk land, the Ashridge estate is an ideal spot for walks and wildlife spotting. This scene is wonderfully illustrated by Alison Gardiner. This hand crafted coffee mug is made in Stoke-on-Trent, England out of fine bone China. Being pure white in color, fine bone china is stronger and more chip resistant than earthenware china and has a long history in the English countryside. Fine bone china has been made in Stoke-on-Trent since the 1790's, by such famous pottery houses as Spode, Wedgewood, Royal Doulton, and Duchess China. Mug stands at 3 3/4" inches tall and holds 8 oz of your favorite tea or coffee. This hand crafted coffee mug is made exclusively in England by Duchess China, in a factory founded in 1888. Duchess China has made tableware for retailers across the world and even some royalty. These coffee mugs will last for years to come as family heirlooms to be cherished.
