If you love the coast, luxury homeware and a perfect cuppa, you’ll adore our Cornish Surfer Fine Bone China Mugs. Designed in Cornwall and hand-finished in the UK, they combine coastal-inspired beauty with everyday practicality — and right now you can buy 4 mugs for £64 (worth £80).

Fine Bone China vs. Bone China – What’s the Difference?

Many people ask what makes fine bone china mugs different from ordinary bone china or ceramic mugs. Fine bone china is the highest grade of china. It has a finer, smoother structure, making it stronger, lighter and more elegant than standard mugs. It naturally keeps drinks hotter for longer and gives tea and coffee a noticeably better taste.

Cornish Design, British Craftsmanship

Every Cornish Surfer mug starts with a Cornish design inspired by rolling Atlantic waves, seaweed greens, rich turquoise waters and the soft pinks of tidal rock pools. We then have each piece printed and hand-finished in Stoke-on-Trent, the historic home of British ceramics, by a small team of skilled women. This ensures your mug is not only beautiful but also made to last.

Practical Luxury for Everyday Living

Our luxury fine bone china mugs are microwave and dishwasher safe, blending convenience with timeless elegance. Perfect for gifting, morning rituals, or bringing a touch of the coast into your home.

Bring the Ocean Home With Every Sip

Crafted for homes by the sea and souls who long for it, our mugs capture the tranquillity of the ocean with the refined details of luxury living. Whether you’re starting your day with coffee or unwinding with tea, a Cornish Surfer fine bone china mug adds a moment of coastal calm to every sip.

Your final challenge: will it be a big wave, a small wave, or the colour that steals your heart?

How to Style Luxury Coastal Homeware

Inspired by a slower pace of life, the fresh, salty sea air, and the calm rhythm of the ocean, our Nautical Blue collectionis all about laid-back luxury. It’s designed to bring calm, comfort, and a sense of escape into your everyday space.


Designed in Cornwall, Inspired by the Coast

Everything is thoughtfully created in Cornwall—a place where time slows, the air is rich with salt, and the ocean sets the pace. During times when we couldn’t be near the water, the waves became our quiet solace.

That feeling of calm, connection, and simplicity is woven into every piece. With each design, we aim to bring the restorative spirit of the coast into your home.


Start with Bold, Simple Cushions

Begin with cushions in fresh, crisp designs—bold yet beautifully simple. Think classic nautical stripes and flowing wave patterns that add natural movement and energy to any room for that luxury coastal homeware look.

Our larger cushions feature a clever design detail: waves on the front and stripes on the back. It’s perfect for those who love both the bold shape of the ocean and timeless nautical stripes. A thoughtful blend of my two favourite patterns, brought together in one effortlessly stylish piece.


Ethical Comfort That Feels as Good as It Looks

You can mix and match sizes for a relaxed, layered look. Our larger cushions are generously filled with fibres made from recycled plastic bottles—plump, supportive, and kind to the planet.

Smaller cushions are filled with ethically sourced feathers, perfect for achieving that ‘chop’ look that interior stylists love.

Each cushion is finished with a discreet but distinctive signature label—a small detail with a lot of character.


Blankets with Heart and Heritage

Our blankets are crafted with care, featuring beautifully hand-stitched finishes and a subtle surfer motif. It’s a gentle nod to the coastal lifestyle that inspires everything we do.

Soft, durable, and made with ethical materials, they’re designed to be cherished for years.


Add a Touch of Calm to Your Morning

To complete the mood, we’ve created a range of ceramic mugs designed to bring the coast into your morning ritual. Choose from his and hers styles with either a small or large wave motif.

And for coffee lovers, we now offer a perfectly sized espresso cup—small but full of coastal charm.


Bring the Coast Home

This is more than just homeware—it’s a feeling. A fresh, restful space that reflects a slower, more intentional way of living.

Take a piece of the coast home with you. Whether you live by the sea or just dream of it, our luxury coastal homewareinvites you to slow down and savour the beauty of simple, well-made things.

All you have to do now is decide which colour collection you’re going to choose. It’s a tough call—they’re all my favourite.


Ethically Made. Expertly Crafted. Designed in Cornwall.

Ocean Splash

Believe it or not coastal decor is my absolute favourite thing to design and I am excited to introduce you to four new cushions that will bring a splash of statement colour to any room when matched with our Daymer Blue and Fistral Cosy Supersized Blankets.

Proudly British made from organic cotton and filled with ethically sourced feathers for a super plump feel, these luxury gems will fill your home with the spirit of the ocean through design and colour.

I have chosen a more heavy weight cotton (like a cotton canvas) for more durability which in turn is ideal for outside use for those wanting to transform their garden into a coastal sanctuary.

The design and colour compliments the rest of our collection with waves and stripes in our best selling ocean blues and jades.  Why not also check out our matching Bone china collection of plates, mugs and more to complete the nautical vibes.
