Birds Chinoiserie Mint Orange Coffee Mug
Chinoiserie refers to a style of decorative art and design that is chraacterised by its imitation or interpretation of Chinese artistic elements and motifs. The term "chinoiserie" comes from the French word "chinois," meaning Chinese, and it became popular in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Chinoiserie encompasses a wide range of art forms, including furniture, ceramics, textiles, wallpaper, painting, and architecture. It often features ornate and fanciful depictions of Chinese landscapes, figures, pagodas, dragons, and other elements. However, it's important to note that chinoiserie is not an authentic representation of Chinese art and culture; instead, it is a Western interpretation and often reflects the European fascination with the perceived exoticism and mystique of China.
During its height of popularity, chinoiserie was prevalent in aristocratic homes, royal palaces, and elite cultural circles in Europe. It was used to adorn interiors, as well as in the design of gardens and other outdoor spaces. Chinoiserie motifs were also incorporated into paintings, textiles, and fashion of the time.
Chinoiserie continues to influence art and design to this day, as it has left a lasting legacy on Western decorative arts and interior design. It serves as a historical example of how cultures can inspire and shape artistic expressions, even when those expressions are not entirely accurate representations of the source culture.

The quality of these larger mugs is very good. I have been putting mine through the dishwasher all the time and it shows no signs of fading or dulling. Ergonomically these are lovely to hold and have fast become my favourite mug for a big cup of tea or coffee.
Totally recommend getting the tea infuser with the mug especially if you like using loose leaf tea, which always tastes better from my experience and is better for the environment. Printing was good, bright and most importantly accurately matches the colouring shown on the website.
