Liberty Fabrics & John Lewis Lodden Flower Mug, Pink/Green, 350ml

This beautifully designed bone china Lodden Flower Mug features a pattern from the collaboration between John Lewis and Liberty Fabrics.

Lodden was originally designed by William Morris in 1884 and has been reworked to bring timeless style and a touch of heritage into the home.

When Morris & Co. closed down in 1939/40, the printers Stead McAlpine bought the original blocks that they had at their print works. Arthur Steward Liberty came to the agreement with them that a number of Morris designs could be used for Liberty.

Liberty has been associated with beautiful fabrics and patterns since it first opened, in 1875. Our collaboration features iconic prints from their archive which have been updated and re-imagined for us.

 *EDITORS NOTES* Choosing the perfect china

All our china is made from clay and kiln-fired for durability. Except for pieces with special trims, everything is dishwasher safe. Below are a few options to consider when choosing your perfect china.

Earthenware	Strong and practical, perfect for everyday. Its cream colour and low firing temperatures allow for designed pieces.
Stoneware	Tougher than earthenware and chip resistant. Ideal for heavy use and can often go into the oven to temperatures of up to 250°C.
Terracotta	Uses a clay with a rich body colour giving the characteristic base colour, and has a low glaze firing allowing bright coloured glazes. Porous body allows for good thermal expansion and contraction properties making it an ideal body for cookware such as tagines and roasters.
Porcelain	Delicate yet strong. Carefully selected clays give whiteness and translucency. It can often go from oven to table.
Fine china	The synthetic bone ash used in fine china makes it a more affordable alternative to bone china whilst maintaining the benefits - strength, translucency & delicacy.
Bone china	Bone china is made from 40% bone ash. This makes strong yet thin and delicate pieces which are microwave, dishwasher* and oven safe making each piece ideal for everyday use, not just formal. *Unless product has metallic details - always check individual item for specific care instructions
