<p>An Irish house always has a constant stream of tea being made in the kitchen. Therefore it's very important to have your own perfect cup. We have a selection of beautifully made Bone China cups. This collection of Irish Weave Mugs are beautifully illustrated. The Shamrock is Ireland's unofficial emblem. In ancient times the druids believed the Shamrock had mystical powers. To them its three leaves were a natural sign of a sacred number. This little plant was even said to warn of an approaching storm by turning up its leaves. According to legend St. Patrick himself plucked a Shamrock from the ground to explain his belief in the Holy Trinity. They say this helped convert the Irish people to Christianity. Many believed that wearing this little sprig of green would keep them from harm. The print is written in Irish script style similar to that in the famous Book of Kells. Further similarities to this are thes of the border and the Celtic Knotwork patterns. This mug is so beautiful it could easily be used in a display case. It is also ideal for holding your perfect cup of tea.</p>
