Overview
A bone china mug from Empire Art Direct. Design: Pets Rock Brothers.
About this mug
Porcelain and bone china are the traditional choice for tea: thin, light and pleasant against the lip, with a white body that shows exactly how strong the brew is.
It is part of a collectible illustrated series, so it pairs well with others from the same range.
Size and capacity
The manufacturer does not publish a capacity for this item, so we do not quote one rather than guess. For reference only, a standard coffee mug usually holds between 10 and 14 fl oz.
Material: bone china
- Strong for its weight - bone ash in the body makes bone china the strongest ceramic by weight.
- Fine and translucent - held up to a window, the wall lets light through - the traditional material for tea.
- Fine rim - thin walls give a delicate rim that many people prefer for tea.
Care and use
- Washing: hand washing keeps the finish at its best; a gentle, cool dishwasher cycle is acceptable for undecorated pieces.
- Microwave: never microwave bone china that carries gold, silver or other metallic decoration.
- Storage: store with space between the handles - chips on fine china almost always happen in the cupboard, not in use.
- Avoid thermal shock: warm the cup with hot tap water before pouring in boiling water.

Why the duty is already in the price. A parcel from Hong Kong is an import, and imports carry duty. Rather than add a line at checkout or let the carrier bill you at the door, the 10% duty and customs handling is built into every price on this site. If FedEx or anyone else ever asks you to pay customs charges on a LuvMuggs order, send us the paperwork and we will refund it.
- Business days are Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays, and are counted from when payment clears.
- If an order is going to miss the 5–10 business day window, we email you before the tracking page does.
- Address wrong? Email support@luvmuggs.com straight away — it can be corrected free until the FedEx label is printed.
- A parcel returned to us as undeliverable is refunded in full once it is back at the warehouse.

Questions about this item
The ones we are asked most. Anything else: support@luvmuggs.com or +1 949-407-8573.
When will it arrive?
We pack orders within 3 business days of payment clearing, and FedEx then takes 2–7 business days, so most orders arrive 5–10 business days after you order. A FedEx tracking number is emailed as soon as the label is scanned.
Will I have to pay anything when it is delivered?
No. The 10% import duty and customs handling is already included in the $62.65 price, so there is no duty line at checkout and nothing for FedEx to collect at the door.
How much is delivery?
$45 per order, whatever the size of the order, and free once the goods total reaches $800. It is one flat charge, not per item.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes, within 30 days of the delivery date, as long as it is unused and in its original packaging. Email support@luvmuggs.com for a return authorisation number first; return postage for a change of mind is paid by you, and there is no restocking fee.
What happens if it arrives broken?
Email a photo of the damage and the outer box within 7 days of delivery. We send a replacement or a full refund — whichever you prefer — and you pay nothing. In most cases we do not ask for the broken item back.
Is LuvMuggs an official Empire Art store?
No. LuvMuggs is an independent retailer. We buy finished Empire Art goods, hold them in our own warehouse and ship them ourselves; we are not affiliated with or endorsed by Empire Art. Stock is checked against the GTIN on the listing when it arrives.
Do you ship outside the United States?
No. We deliver to the 50 US states, the District of Columbia and US territories served by FedEx only.
