Onion Pattern Coffee Mug
Onion Pattern Coffee Mug
Onion Pattern Tableware
Coffee mug.
Capacity: 300ml
A misnomer, there is actually nothing oniony about the onion pattern tableware (it’s a pomegranate).
A design classic unchanged for 300 years, Zwiebelmuster tabeware, as it’s known in German, was once compulsory gear for any young bride setting up home. Wedding dowries in the 1860s recommended a minimum Zwiebelmuster service of 7 dozen cups with plates.
The design is inspired by East Asian symbolism and represents time, cohesion and growth.
This coffee mug is hand finished by skilled craftsmen.
Dishwasher, oven and microwave safe.
