British Colour Standard Mug - Medici Blue

Made from thin, crisp, light white bone china, wrapped in a rich colour decal with the name and number of the depicted colour from the British Colour Standard archive, this is the ideal mug for a perfect cup of tea or coffee. 

Medici Blue: Following the precedents of classic Chinese blue and white, decorations were painted in under-glaze blue, which resulted in a range of hues when fired—from a bright cobalt blue to grey.

  • Approx Size: 3.75'' D x  4.0'' H / 84mm D x 100mm H.
  • Capacity 400ml.
  • Fine, light bone china with a colourful decal.
  • Dishwasher (domestic) safe.
  • Microwave safe.
  • Made in China.

The story of British Colour Standard: 

The art/design team of Jackie Piper and Victoria Whitbread discovered an old colour dictionary in an Oxfam shop and began a journey to re-establish this long forgotten brand.
A treasure trove of colour established in 1931, but out of use since the 1950s, Piper and Whitbred created a profile for the many hundreds of colours created and logged in the 1930s. Derived and inspired from flora and fauna as well as semi-precious stones and spices, the main collections include historic and special Royal colours, designed and used for coronations and special events.
