This lovely little mug was designed in the 1970s by John Clappison. He was an incredibly successful designer working for Hornsea, Ravenhead glass, Royal Doulton and Coryfo ceramics. Sadly his name doesn't appear on many pieces, so he's unfamiliar to many, but his work sold in the millions.
This particular mug features a school of fish swimming around the edge. These mugs come in quite a few colourways, mine is made up of a beautiful olive green and bright pink. In all honesty, I would love to get my hands on more of these. They also come with patterns of dolphins, owls, chickens, elephants and even the whole zodiac. I covet them all!
