You may have recognised that the distinctive black and white pattern on this Pineapple 1/2 Pint Mug is a botanical illustration. Photography can’t reveal every extraordinary detail of a plant, such as the leafy crown of this pineapple or the geometric pattern of its shell, but a botanical artist can and this Emma Bridgewater mug applauds this incredible talent.

It’s a Vegetable Garden mug combining scientific accuracy with artistic skill that’s worthy of close inspection: why not make yourself a brew, admire the beautiful pineapple detailing and plan a trip to Kew Gardens?
