Dunoon Groovy Dogs Lomond Shape Mug Whether you’re a dog owner or you’re just barking mad about dogs, this mug is sure to put a smile on your face! Four adorable, illustrated dogs are playing in their own band; on the tuba is a brown and white dog, on the trumpet a black and white spotty dog, on the baby grand piano is a two-tone brown dog and on the double base a red brown dog. These groovy dogs are set against the crisp white background for Dunoon’s fine bone china, complete with a speckle of coloured treble clefs, stars and swirls. This fun pattern continues on the handle and inside the rim of the mug. Ideal for dog lovers and musicians this mug will be sure to strike a note with a friend or relative, ideal as a gift for a birthday or any special occasion. Lomond The elegant simplicity of the Lomond shape, new for May 2010, becomes 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\". With a capacity of 320ml they are both dishwasher and microwave safe, with the exception of those featuring gold embellishment.
