Emma Bridgewater Rosa Mundi 1/2 Pint Mug

Rosa Mundi is a classic old rose that’s been admired for centuries. It’s as generous in its display of rose-pink striped petals as it is in its profusion of orange-red hips: these are valuable food for garden birds such as the long tailed tit featured on this Rosa Mundi 1/2 Pint Mug. This rose therefore easily earns its place on a floral mug in our Birds In The Garden collection. Equally impressive is where the name ‘Rosa Mundi’ comes from: the Latin epitaph for Henry II’s mistress refers to her as ‘a rose of the world, not a pure rose’. How’s that for a fact to stun the family with at breakfast time when sipping tea from your rose mug?
