This mug set includes 8 designs of our most popular garden birds with illustrations by dutch artist Elwin Van der Kolk. These mugs will make a delightful addition to any kitchen. They can all be purchased individually as well as in this complete set. The set features a Wren, Nuthatch, Song Thrush, Robin, Great Tit, House Sparrow, Blue Tit and Blackbird. These modern style mugs are made from new bone china porcelain which has a light cream colour and a light transparency, however this material is strong, even in thinner mugs which many prefer, making it an increasingly popular new material for kitchenware. Elwin van der Kolk, the Dutch biologist and nature painter, was fascinated by the natural world around him from an early age, and a large part of his childhood was spent watching and drawing birds. In his work he tries to capture nature in a way that encourages the viewer to both admire and protect our precious wildlife.
