Churchill Blue Willow Tall Ceramic Tea Mug with Rounded Handle

At 10.5 cm tall and 10.5 cm wide, this Churchill Blue Willow tall ceramic tea mug with its rounded handle and full Blue Willow landscape transfer is a generous, comfortable mug that brings the classic pattern to everyday use with the practical quality and consistent transferware printing that Churchill China is known for, the rounded handle sitting comfortably in the hand for the proper cup of tea that the Blue Willow tradition demands.

Made by Churchill China of Stoke-on-Trent, one of England's most enduring transferware manufacturers, this tall tea mug is part of the Blue Willow range, Churchill's version of the Blue Willow pattern that has been one of the most enduringly popular and widely produced patterns in English transferware since its introduction in the late 18th century. The tall mug form, which is larger and more generous than the traditional tea cup, suits the Blue Willow pattern particularly well, the full landscape of willow trees, pagodas, bridges, and birds having the space to be rendered with the completeness and detail that the pattern deserves. The rounded handle, which gives the mug a comfortable, practical quality suited to daily use, distinguishes this mug from the oval-handled version in the Churchill Blue Willow range, and the two mugs together make a natural pair for a coordinated Blue Willow display. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
