Do china mugs exist that are NOT covered on Grannyish flowers?

[said]

I like my tea in a china mug but I have never seen a decent design.

Orla Kiely does some www.orlakiely.com/uk.cfm/house/kitchen/?step=all
Habitat have a lovely range in atm

there is also the dreaded cath kidston

{[http://www.orlakiely.com/uk.cfm/house/kitchen/MAPR7H-700/3871/_/ Wow, these are almost identical to some REALLY cheap BHS placemats I bought last year]]

bummer

tk max is alway loaded with cheap china mugs.

lol@ that mug, we used to have stuff like that for camping when i was wee

Oh come on..I think you are just lazy OP

whats not to like?

Dunoon mugs

I have family in the area so factory seconds are frequently received as gifts and they seem to have an infinite variety of designs, some naff, some not so bad. They're pretty cheap.

is that plain enough?

Well, it was another trip to TK Maxx today that made me start this thread.

That's so plain I can't tell the mug from the background

Will peruse other links here as well.

yes.

They are covered in little white dogs instead.

i want these

john lewis have some lovely ones, very orla kiely-ish but a bit bigger and a fiver apiece rather than seven fifty.

Martha, I find these mugs scary!

I love those Habitat ones!
Nearly bought them, but, you know, I have mugs. How many mugs does a person need?

Its OK to laugh and point at me for buying 10 of these in a variety of colours.

There are some nice colourful modern ones for a more sensible price lower down on this page

They're very nice ABD but "Inspired by PANTONE Colour charts, this bone china mug is glazed with a pattern resembling the iconic PANTONE Colour Chip." is a bit lost on me [philistine emoticon]

I've got these Cath Kidston strawberries and stars ones

Do they have to be funny shapes/smaller because china isn't as strong?

My CK ones are huge.

said - PANTONE is apparently an interational standard colour matching system.

I didn't know either - me and DW just thought 'oooooh what lovely colours!'.

I have a selection of these I also prefer a china mug for my tea and according to my DH that makes me a ponce!

I'm a big fan of Typhoon mugs, my sister gave me some for Christmas and they're just the right size for a decent cup of coffee.

These are the ones she gave me.

ABetaDad, they also do ones inspired by Pantone here although I like yours better. I have a Pantone book from the days when I used to have a job life, who'd have thought it could ever be so beautiful?!

Oh, more nice ones to look at, thanks. Oops, tea tastes better in a china mug. It is not poncification; it is Fact. Actually, I think the china keeps it hotter longer. Or I might have made that up.
