Bring warmth, heritage, and charm to your tea ritual with the Scottish Thistle Tea Set – Mug, Holder, Tea & Towels, a thoughtfully curated collection inspired by our Scottish tradition. You can choose between a set that includes a mug, teabag holder, tea, and a pair of towels, or a set that gives you 2 mugs & 2 holders – all united by a striking thistle design.
In Scotland, the thistle symbolizes resilience, courage, and protection. Legend tells of a barefoot enemy stepping on a thistle and crying out, alerting a Scottish battalion and saving them from surprise – earning the flower its place as a national emblem. The thistle is framed by colorful interlacing knots and swirling patterns inspired by the Book of Kells.
The mug and teabag holder are crafted from 100% new bone china, offering durability, a refined shine, and resistance to chips and scratches. Both are microwave- and dishwasher-safe. The mug holds 11 fluid ounces, while the teapot-shaped holder measures 4 inches – perfect for resting used teabags.The set also includes a rich Scottish Breakfast Tea, a black blend that’s delicious with milk or enjoyed plain. The ergonomic reusable tin contains 50 teabags.
Completing the set are two tea towels measuring 18.89” W x 27.55” H – exquisite even for dinner table decor as they are embroidered with thistle and Highland stag motifs. They are made of 100% cotton and have a waffle-like texture, increasing absorption and making sure they're going to last in time.Explore our Irish Kitchen collection for more sets like these and choose your favorite!
