Dunoon Christmas Skaters Lomond Shape Mug This crisp white Dunoon mug provides the perfect canvas for Kate Mawdsley’s festive Christmas design. This enchanting illustration features a snow-capped village scene in the background, as people dressed in their winter hats and scarves build snowmen and skate and glide across the ice in the foreground.  Overhead in the night sky you can see Santa flying by on his sleigh, being guided by his reindeer, as the snow begins to fall. Santa and his reindeer feature again on the inside rim of the mug, and the handle is decorated with a continuation of the village scene motif, pulling the whole design together with a flourish of intricate details and festive attributes. Lomond The elegant simplicity of the Lomond shape is the canvas for some of the boldest patterns and brightest designs Dunoon have ever launched. As with the Glencoe or Jura shapes, Dunoon have once again chosen to name a range after a quiet Scottish idyll, this time drawing inspiration from the beautiful Scottish loch renowned for its \"bonnie bonnie banks\".  Kate Mawdsley Kate Mawdsley was born in Lancashire and now lives in a converted barn in East Anglia. Even in the nursery, Kate Mawdsley preferred to play with paper, pencils and paint rather than toys and she maintained her interest in art throughout her education. After completing her degree in fashion and textiles, Kate spent the first ten years of her career in the fashion industry. In the early 1990s, she began gradually to move into more illustrative work. Since then, her repertoire and collection have expanded each year and her work can now be seen on products ranging from Dunoon mugs to cross-stitch fabrics.
