Orla Kiely Apple Owl Standard Mug This striking Apple Owl design by Orla Kiely depicts a repeat pattern of simple shapes overlapping, to create a minimalised owl character. A beige quarter-circle represents its body with a charcoal grey semi-circle wing and a curved triangle, in matching colour, symbolizes its nose and ears. The eyes are a circle of cream, each with a smaller charcoal dot representing the pupil. This minimal design is repeated around the body of the mug and set upon an apple green background. The sixties inspired owl design will make a wonderful gift for a friend or relative, for birthday, Christmas or as a way to say thank you. A beautiful bird mug for everyone who loves the designs by Orla Kiely!  Mix and match these gorgeous Orla Kiely mugs from McLaggan Smith to add a modern retro vibe to your kitchen.
