These distinctive porcelain mugs with Scottish Lion Rampant motif are a great gift for your loved ones and for your own enjoyment. A set of these mugs will add a touch of Scotland to any kitchen table.
The Lion Rampant motif depicted on the mug represents the unofficial national flag of Scotland, also known as the Royal Flag of Scotland. This symbol was historically reserved for the monarch and belonged exclusively to the royal family. It now belongs to the British monarch, as Scotland has no king or queen of its own.
The design of the mug is inspired by the style of Celtic manuscripts from the 9th century, which were hand embellished by monks on calf or sheepskin parchment. The name 'lion rampant' refers to the stance of the lion - standing upright, ready for action, and symbolising courage, strength and Scottish pride.
Freshly brewed tea or coffee from these porcelain mugs tastes great and is the perfect way to start the day.
The 325ml ( 11 fl oz) mug is suitable for everyday use and as a gift for lovers of Celtic history and art.
