    Introducing The Swing large fine bone china coffee mug, exquisitely handcrafted and finished with a  22kt burnished gold gilded rim.

    The Swing mug was designed by commission for leading London museum The Wallace Collection to celebration the restoration of their famous  ‘The Swing’ painting rehung in the gallery in 2021, find out more here.

    Painted in 1767 by 18th century artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard, and notorious at the time for its naughtiness, The Swing’s heroine is a carefree young woman who, whilst being pushed on a swing, kicks off her shoe to give a fawning young admirer a teasing glimpse under her petticoats.

    In true Melody Rose style, Melanie Roseveare has deconstructed the famous artwork and transferred the joie de vivre of its central character onto The Swing fine bone china mug.
