Design Porn: V&A mugs

The Victora & Albert has to be probably my favourite museum ever. So there aren't any dinosaurs, but there are plenty of pretty things to feast your eyes on, great shoes and awesome exhibitions. It's one of those places you can really lose yourself in (in fact, I did actually get lost in there last time I went - it's a pretty big place). It seems that you can go back time and time again and always find something new.

So I love the V&A. But I also love tea. Tea gets me up in the morning, gets me through the day and gets my ass in gear when I have a lot of work to do. So when I received a HUGE box of bone china V&A mugs to try out, you can imagine I was delighted.

The mugs are all inspired by fabrics in the V&A museum, and come in lovely matching gift boxes, which make them a great present for that tea-loving individual in your life.

My particular fave is this classy black and white 'Brocade' design. Perfect for sipping a cup of Earl Grey from. Or just regular builders' in my case...

The mugs are available from John Lewis and cost £9.50 each.
