There’s no mistaking the pig breed on our Oxfordshire Sandy & Black Pig 1/2 Pint Mug. It’s colouring of a ginger-looking coat marked by bold, black patches has earned it the endearing nickname of “Plum Pudding Pig”. Known for their gentle temperament and inquisitive nature, Oxford Sandy and Black pigs are a true British farming treasure. It’s hard to think that they almost became extinct just 20 years ago. Next time you enjoy a morning cappuccino, a well-earned tea break or warming hot chocolate in this handmade mug, raise it in a toast to the breeders and conservationists who’ve helped these docile creatures thrive. Our little piggies will be more than happy to remain depicted on your hand-crafted mug rather than run all the way home.
