Mug For The Zoo

• Bone china mug
• Design taken from old London Transport poster by Charles Paine
• Great gift item

This fabulous mug has a printed design on it taken from an old London Transport poster. Big enough for a good sized cuppa but not so big you could take a swim in it. A pleasure to drink from and a pleasure to look at.
