I tend to push them onto the marlborough as an alternative. I am going to see what other styles they have available for printing as well.

I've not even seen the Malborough ones sold by suppliers. Where do you get yours from? The best we can manage is Sparta (looks like Malborough but ceramic, not china).

It's astounding the limited number of products we have available in this country compared to others, isn't it? The same issue arises with plates. It's the old Catch-22 that suppliers don't sell because there's no demand, but there's no demand because suppliers don't sell.

I get quite a bit of my stuff outside of the UK including the Marlborough. I guess it comes down to supply and demand for the Suppliers.

You can get a few different styles from a company called Keramikos Tel: 01773 522037, they do the Marlborough etc.

They state they use the RN coating.

According to their website, they state that they're a "trade only supplier of printed" ceramics and glassware. So they're not a supplier of blanks, then?

Yes they do supply blanks, under the Keramikos Trade Supplies name. Person to contact is Jonathan Briggs on the number in last post.

Came across them at the Sign & Digital Show at the NEC, along with another company P&M Glass Coat Ltd/Dye Sub Mugs Ltd. Tel: 01844 237088.

Hi Andrew,
did you have any luck in finding a supplier for the Balmoral mugs ? I would like to try some too !
Lol,
Kaz.

Hi Kaz,

I can get them but a couple of thousand at a time. It's easy enough to push the cusatomer onto one of the other china options so haven't needed to so far.

All the best,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,
thank you for getting back to me - Yes, I think a couple of thousand would be a bit too many for me also as I use maybe 6 mugs a week !

Lol,

Kaz.
