I’ve been a fan of textile and wallpaper designers Scion since I discovered their distinctive range last year in the shape of the Fantastic Mr Fox rug. So I was thrilled when browsing round the shops last week to find they have expanded the range to include these rather gorgeous mugs.

The company has teamed up with Keith Brymer Jones , who also makes rather beautiful ceramics, to transfer their images to a range of mugs.

The idea is that you can choose a colourway and have a set of mugs in contrasting designs and toning colours, or choose a pattern and have it in different shades. Either way, the key is that it’s not all matchy matchy.

The mugs are all available from Make International and cost £10. And if you’re weren’t aware of Scion and want to see more, have a look at this gorgeous fabric.

I also love this one below, but there are lots of great, modern designs to choose from, so have a potter round and see what you think.
