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.
