Shakespeare Characters Mug

This heirloom-quality bone china mug is decorated with humorous illustrations depicting more than forty central characters from fourteen of Shakespeare’s major plays. Each time you pick up these mugs, you’ll find more to look at in the wonderfully detailed illustrations: swords and daggers; masks and cauldrons; snakes, fairies, and phantoms; and much more.

The Shakespeare plays illustrated on the mug are Macbeth, As You Like It, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Antony and Cleopatra, Othello, Much Ado About Nothing, Richard III, Hamlet, Henry IV Part One, The Tempest, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night, and King Lear.

Made in Scotland, in a factory on Loch Lomond, by a family business run by a grandmother, her daughter, and her granddaughter. The company tells us, “Each mug is printed and decorated in the UK by our cheery, hardworking, skilled, and experienced staff.”

The company has produced bespoke bone china mugs for Orla Kiely, Paul Smith, Lulu Guinness, Vivienne Westwood, the Tate, the National Galleries, the National Trust, and many schools, churches, galleries, and other organizations. 

Handwashing recommended. Suitable for use in a microwave.
