Sipp In Style... Find Your Perfect Mug Match

For some, it’s shoes, clothes, jewellery, or art. But for others, the humble mug stands out as one of the most emotionally charged inanimate objects in our lives.

According to researchers, nearly 60 percent of us have an emotional attachment to our favourite mug. So what is it that makes a mug perfect? And why is it that some mugs feel just right in your hand, keep your drink at the perfect temperature, and bring a little extra joy to your morning tea or coffee. 

In our humble option, fine bone china is the gold standard of mug materials, especially for those who appreciate timeless elegance. Crafted with a blend of bone ash, clay, and feldspar, fine bone china combines strength, durability, and delicacy in a unique way. It’s durable despite its thin, lightweight feel, and it maintains a pristine, beautiful  finish over time.
Here’s why Sipp of Stoke Mugs are made from only the finest bone china. 

Keeps your tea warmer for longer: Fine bone china keeps your drink warmer for longer without making the exterior too hot to handle, thanks to its excellent insulating properties. This means you can enjoy your drink at the ideal temperature as it cools steadily - unlike wider, chunkier mugs that cool drinks more quickly. Fine bone china is perfect for tea lovers, as it helps preserve the delicate flavours by keeping the tea warm, enhancing the overall experience with each sip.

Your tea tastes better: Sipping from fine bone china offers a subtle yet distinct difference in taste compared to other materials. Unlike metals or more porous mugs, fine bone china preserves the aroma and flavour of your drink, delivering a pure, unaltered taste. Plus, the more porous a mug is, the more it holds onto residue, making it harder to clean thoroughly.

Long-Lasting: Fine bone china is known for its durability and long-lasting beauty, meaning that a quality fine bone china mug can last generations if cared for properly. This sustainability factor appeals to those who prioritise buying less but buying better. With fine bone china, you’re investing in a piece that not only has a story but is also crafted to be cherished over the years.

At Sipp of Stoke, every mug is made with care for both people and the planet, using ethically sourced bone that would otherwise end up as landfill, and ensuring that every bit of waste is recycled.
