Thistle Mug

Size - 12.5cm x 10cm x 8.8cm / 300ml

We love a good coffee as much as a tipple, so we’ve illustrated a range of glassware with a cosy cuppa in mind. All our glasses are dishwasher safe, though we recommend hand-washing to ensure optimum care.

To ensure quality and safety, we’ve opted for mugs which are not only strong but microwave safe. If you’re a hot chocolate fiend like Kay’s Gran, you’ll be safe heating your milk right in the mug.

Design - The thistle has served as the National Flower of Scotland for over 500 years. This mysterious and prickly plant has appeared throughout our nation's cultural history everywhere from poetry to the sports strips of the rugby team and even the police uniforms. 

One legend has it a sleeping party of Scots warriors were saved from ambush by an invading Norse army when one of the enemies trod on the spiky plant. His anguished cry roused the slumbering warriors who duly vanquished the invader and adopted the thistle as their national symbol.

Although there's no hard evidence, it certainly is a wonderful tale!
