Be proud of your heritage and show off your Scottish pride! This exquisite Scottish Thistle Mug is made out of Bone China, known as a high-class porcelain, famous for its qualities as strong, durable, and heat-resistant and also chip-resistant. It is a high quality ceramic used for tableware. The symbol that captures the attention first is the Scottish Thistle. The plant that was accepted to be the national emblem of Scotland. The Legend says that when a group of sleeping Scottish warriors were invaded by the Norse army, one of the enemies stepped on the spiky plant and his cry woke up the soldiers. The enemy was defeated and the thistle became a national symbol. Along with the thistle, the Trinity Knot is appearing on the top of the mug. Symbolizing the Holy Trinity for some and the three forces of nature (water, fire, earth) for others, the Trinity knot is magnificently knitted with different knotwork. At the bottom is nicely outlined “Scotland”. A lovely bright Blue background on this Scottish Thistle Mug Celtic Window, binds everything together. A wonderful piece, coming directly from Ireland having the capacity of 10 fl oz.
