Perhaps not the mug to offer an elderly relative, but everyone else should appreciate the glimpse at a bygone era provide by the Glamour mug set.
This set of six fine bone china mugs is produced exclusively in the UK for I Love Design, all handmade and with six 50s-style hand-drawn illustrations of a pin-up on the outside – a different one for each mug. And appropriately for the subject matter, each mug is in an ‘hour glass’ shape.
You can buy the set online, priced at £85.
