The grand old duke would have been mightily impressed with how we've depicted this historic walled city with its Roman roots & Viking past on our boxed York 1/2 Pint Mug. No room to include 10, 000 men, however. What is a second? All pottery is inspected before it leaves the factory. When an item is classified as a second the fault or faults may be in the finish, the decoration or the shape. The faults are not structural (i.e. each piece still functions as intended & is useable). Faults are marked with a black line which will be visible when your product arrives but washes off with a damp cloth. Discounts cannot be used in conjunction with any seconds, discontinued or sale pieces.
