Colour Dictionary Bone China Mug | Old Rose No 157

Soft, graceful, and rich in heritage, Old Rose No 157 is a delicate pink hue that rose to prominence during the Victorian era. Inspired by the lighter tones of the famille rose glazes found in Chinese porcelain, it first appeared in the early 19th century and quickly became a classic in interiors and decorative arts.

Part of the British Colour Standard collection, this mug celebrates a historic 1930s colour matching system once used across the British Empire for everything from uniforms to flags and post boxes. Modernised for today, these vibrant mugs bring meaningful colour and thoughtful design into the everyday.

Crafted from fine bone china with a smooth, crisp white finish, each mug is wrapped in a rich colour decal and features the original name and number from the BCS archive.
