Gorgeous images and a lovely reflection of our colourful Australian birds. Visitors love to be served tea in these cups. Lovely fine china too - not thick cheap ceramic.

Beautifully designed and finished mug, not too big and not too small. I bought the whole set. Love them. We moved to the bush recently and thought they were a good tribute to our new environment.

lovely mugs
Nice shape, fine china and nice to look at. Haven't tried drinking tea from them as yet - may have to, my old tea cup now has a couple of chips in it. Will also add to my collection

Crimson Rosellas Mug
I love drinking out of this mug because of the shape of the cup - very drinkable. I also bought the whole set of the birds mugs - can't decide which one will be my favourite. Great price - much cheaper than what you pay in department stores. Fast and Free delivery!
