The Chown family have been working together for over 35 years producing bone china ware of the highest quality from their own factory, firstly in Stoke-on-Trent, and then for twenty years now in Cornwall (where the clay comes from). Prior to that John (Father) was Technical Manager at Spode for five years, and prior to that he was a Head of Research for Royal Doulton. All this is your guarantee that your project will be in safe hands.

 

STANDARD PROMOTIONAL BONE CHINA MUGS

Fine bone china promotional mugs custom printed with your design for all promotional projects. As inexpensive corporate and business gifts, mugs are probably the No.1 choice enabling you to spread your promotional message to a very wide audience of existing and potential Customers, quality products that will continue to promote your business, club or society for years and years. Prices start at £1.85 - see below . . .

These are high quality bone china mugs featuring your artwork for inexpensive retail sales, the very best business promotion, excellent promotional gifts, and all other promotional needs. We decorate every one to the highest (genuine) pottery decoration standards. This decoration is invariably applied via ceramic transfers or decals, enabling us to make fullest use of the available decorating area, and so that we can print the decals with any number of colours via our own precision silk-screen technique which we have developed continuously over more than 35 years. Where necessary we also have available digital printing of the decals. All our decoration firing is at over 800°Centigrade. All our product is dishwasher-safe, and unless gold or platinum metals form part of the decoration, they are perfectly microwave-safe too.

These are British mugs for business promotion, imprinted promotional products that are absolutely ideal as company promotional and gift items. They can be mugs with your company logo, supported by your company's promotional message and slogans. The design should have flair to put your message across successfully - let us help.

Fine bone china is noted world-wide for its combination of whiteness, strength, translucency, and its particular ability to be decorated with designs which display particular vibrancy and vitality of colour. On the other hand porcelain mugs are noted for their low price because they are so much easier and cheaper to manufacture. We now offer you both.

Our commitment is to assist you in delivering the best possible promotional message, that we produce your promotional mugs to the highest possible standard, mugs that are produced only from the finest genuine ceramic materials, that will be a delight to drink from, that will last for ever, and will give lasting pleasure to their owners whilst continuously reminding them of you.

PLEASE NOTE: This extremely competitively-priced range - we do not believe any other UK manufacturer or re-seller is able to offer lower prices, and most certainly not at our high quality level which we will not compromise - is restricted to your provision of the full artwork in camera-ready form. We are, however, prepared to re-insert your required text to ensure its maximum crispness and clarity.

Photographs showing a typical range of bone china mugs with bespoke designs that we have specially produced during the last year or two for Customers - to give you some ideas on the scope of possibilities and what you can ask us to do for you - for your fund-raising, for your promotion, for your restaurant, for your shop sales - whatever it is that you are seeking to do. All of these mugs have been decorated via the manual application of ceramic decals (waterslide transfers), followed by firing at above 800°C for everlasting permanence and outstanding dish-washer resistance.

 

To qualify for the above prices, your artwork must be in 'camera-ready' form. Designs, complete with colour separations as applicable, are best supplied as your original Adobe (preferred) or Corel files, either by email or on CD. On receipt we prepare it for printing, and after receiving your approval that all is as you would wish we use one of three processes to print and apply your design to your chosen mugs

With each of these processes, the colour pigments we use at all times are finely powdered coloured glasses, and after application to the mugs, we fire at temperatures above 800°Centigrade. This enables us to supply you with a product that is not only beautiful but has maximum durability under all circumstances. No organic colouring pigments or organic glazing resins are used in any of our processing.

All Chown China's decal printing is carried out day in, day out, with this same high degree of precision and attention to detail, and when combined with our high quality in-house artistry, the resulting product is unmatched for value-for-money.

 

All of these Mugs, including that for Torch Trust, feature extremely delicate precision-printed halftone printing of these decals, a Chown China speciality developed over many years' research, giving beautiful rendering of a full range of tones of each colour printed. All Chown China's decal printing is carried out day in, day out, with this same high degree of precision and attention to detail, and when combined with the high quality in-house artistry, the resulting product is unmatched for value-for-money.
