Help Me Find This Mug

[littlemissminor]

Posting for traffic sorry...

I bought a Daddy mug from the English Heritage online shop back in 2017. It's massively sentimental to DP. I have stupidly dropped it this morning getting it out of the dishwasher and smashed it 😭

I've contacted the English Heritage who no longer sell them, and I can't find one online anywhere.

Does anyone by sheer chance have one that I could buy? Or any help at all? Thank you.

(Luckily I have a picture of mug from when I bought it, before I ruined it attached!)

Can’t you go to a pottery shop and do an almost identical one if necessary?

You could buy a paint your own mug kit from Wilko

I’d keep an eye on eBay.

I search for things all the time, over and over, and more often than not they’ll turn up at some point.

You could contact EH shops ( actual shops) - email with a picture , they may have one left over in a back of a store cupboard somewhere ? Long and tedious but apart from second hand on eBay or someone on here having one available it's all I can think up

Thank you all for your suggestions so far - I hadn't thought of a pottery shop!

I would go and get a new one made at a pottery shop, one that's personalised by your child/ren and then when you fess up he can't be mad at you!

You can ask a local printing company if they can print the same design on a similar shaped mug, however you wouldn’t be able to buy a mug from a shop to give them. The printer must use a sublimation mug. I hope that helps.

Thank you, again - I would never have thought of that! Think I was so annoyed at myself I didn't stop to think at all!

You can just print it on another mug quite inexpensively. This is the first link I’ve found, and they claim to be doing mugs 50% off, but I’m sure there are lots of other options.

Buy a Kintsugi kit (The Japanese art of fixing things with gold, which makes them even more treasured and valuable) and upgrade it to ornament status?

Freeprints do photo mugs. Do a crop of that photo then get that image printed.

If you get a printed design/buy a new one/etc, surely he's going to notice that he's using a new mug not the older one? Because surely it's the actual mug that has sentimental value not the design?
Better to fess up, it was an accident not a malicious act, accidents happen.
How broken is it? Can you attempt to glue as much together as possible and use it as a plant pot or pen holder or something instead of a mug?

Thank you all so much for your help - just to clarify I've told him already - he's not annoyed or angry etc I just want to replace it because I know how much it meant to him (given to him when DD was in hospital, very touch and go situation with her).

He doesn't even know I'm trying to get another, I just thought it would be a nice thing to do (it's beyond repair, but I guess a replica is better than nothing!)

You always see a fair amount of decent mugs in charity shops, and I have seen many with Daddy, Mum, Son, Grandma etc, written on them.

Garden centres sometimes have them too. and supermarkets.
