Wee Birdy competition: Win a set of Cornishware mugs

The classic blue and white banded pottery of T.G.Green & Co’s Cornishware has been gracing British kitchen tables for over eight decades, and I'm delighted to offer Wee Birdy readers the chance to win a set of 8 'His and Hers' mugs (see above and below).

Each set of four mugs comes in a beautiful Cornishware box and can be ordered from the company’s new online gift service at www.tggreen.co.uk. Prices are £40 per set, with a total prize value of £80. The website features some great Cornishware present ideas, with the entire range of the distinctive blue and white kitchenware, from teapots to egg cups and cake stands to pudding bowls.

For your chance to win both sets of mugs, leave a comment below, telling me what your favourite piece of Cornishware is. The winner will be chosen using a random number generator. Entries close 6pm Thursday 4 February (GMT) and the winner will be announced on Friday 5 February. Please be sure to leave your email address below so I can contact you. Good luck!

These are SO pretty! I love the Cornishware bowls the most... they remind me of my mother's kitchen at home in Somerset (not quite Cornwall, but close enough!) x

[LNR]

Wow, LOVE these mugs!

My absolute fave Cornishware item is the stripey rolling pin

[Keris Stainton]

I love the pudding basin. Reminds me of my nan.

[Make Do Style]

Oh gosh now to pick a favourite piece is hard. My love for Cornish ware knows no bounds and these mugs are a marvellous modern update. I have 4 items from my dearly departed grandma, her marmalade jar, a pint jug and two storage jars surviving from the 40s or 50s. I think the marmalade pot with its cute top and the gap for the spoon is the winner xxx

[Lauren]

Ohh, what a lovely competition - as always!

I love the Tea coffee and sugar pots, they alwasy seem so beautiful!

[Coquette & Dove]

Ooooh, what a wonderful prize! Cornishware takes me back to my Grandad's kitchen in a heartbeat. He had all sorts of bits & pieces, but my favourite has to be the pudding basin (especially when filled with tapioca pudding!)

[Anna Maria]

I am currently looking for a stylish way to store cotton wool and their cotton wool jar fits the bill perfectly!

[sveva]

I like Cornishware bowls! I love seeing my children mix the dough in them!

[jenny]

love these mugs! and the egg cups are so cute too

[Claire Hurd Design]

Oooh, what a fantastic competition, I love Cornishware!

I am getting married to a Cornish man later this year and have started a collection of Cornishware for our home together. I have always admired the design and it is a lovely link back to his roots.

However, so far we only have the tea jar! My favourite pieces are the small sugar jar and milk jug which I would would love to get next.

A set of beautiful mugs would be a perfect addition x

[Alex]

Loving the sugar bowls!

[Laura Silver]

love all the classic blue pieces.

[Bec]

I just love those mug sets, the choice of colours is lovely :)

[mandy]

These mugs are beautiful. I love Cornishware, but my absolute favourite pieces are the pudding bowls, they're so useful for serving, baking, and looking ornamental around the house. 2 of my mugs were broken by visiting children last weekend, so these would be super-gratefully received in my house!!

[Mette]

The graduated jug has got to be my favorite - practical and pretty all at the same time.

I tried fitting one in to my suitcase, when moving back home from England, but I had way too much stuff.

The mugs are great too, though - they will look good on the shelf with my Moomin ones from Arabia.

[Katie]

I love the milk jug and these mugs would go very well to make a lovely little tea set!

[Jayne]

All of it would look lovely in my new kitchen but the biscuit storage jar is just the icing on the jammy dodger. It

[Fi]

My favourite is the utensils jar, lovely :)

[Lesley Barnes]

love tge pudding bowls!

[Rose]

Apart from the coloured mugs which are brilliant I think my favourites are the cappucino cups- though it's all lovely- please enter me in the competition

[Nuria]

My favourite is the domino black cereal bowl, hmmm!

[petajane]

My favourite pieces of Cornishware would have to be the pudding basin and milk jug, they look great next to each other and make me want to bake!

[Philippa]

The pudding bowls and the egg cups are my favourites.

[Vicky]

Love the cups for girls! So pretty yet functional.

[Rebecca]

My favourite? An utterly nostalgic choice - the milk jug owned by my grandmother. Specifically, the comforting broad blue strips, the chip near the handle, and the creamy Carnation milk my grandparents used in their coffee.

Thank you!

[Mary]

Love the milk jug.

[Hannah Young]

I love their Dreadnought jugs and straight sided egg cups!

[La La]

I love the stripes so much! My fave piece would be the classic blue stripe mug I use for my morning cup of tea - the perfect way to start the day! Love your site!! x

[Alex]

It has to be the mugs for me..... Why? Because they are perfect for tea, and I love sitting drinking tea and watching my small son running about. Perfect.

[Susan Nisar]

My favorite piece was a blue Cornishware Mug but it ended up on the kitchen floor, I was totally gutted!

@soggykipper

[Elin]

The lipped bowl. What a cute pout. Looks good in any colour!
:)

[teresa]

I have a little milk jug and love it, so cute x

[Lucy]

I love the marmalade pot! Wow.

[Erica]

I love the looks of the domino baby blue pieces (the polka dotted ones). I also like the biscuit jar. I've been wanting to get one of those for a long time.

[donna]

I love the blue and white striped jug. My Auntie had one and it lived in her totally un-modernised 1930's kitchen.

[Signature Scent]

I love the classic blue. Reminds me of the milk jug that we had at home when I was a child.

[miss cavendish]

My favorite piece is a vintage egg cup from my grandmother's cupboard. It's aged so beautifully and reminds me of my grandmother, of course!

[Heather]

I love love love everything on their website, but would probably buy for myself a pair of mismatched jug, one spotty and one striped, i also love giving jugs as gifts with flowers in.

[jlw]

forget tiffany box blue - i'll take ANY PIECE in cornishware blue!

[kate erbe]

Inherited pudding basins (again, from Gran)... enhanced, of course, when full of christmas pud! Ummm......

[Lucy]

Mine is a vintage blue and white striped milk jug we were given as a wedding present; it has measurements on the inside.

[fiona]

I like the jugs - especially the one with measurements inside! x

[Meg]

I have to say, my favourite piece is the bread crock! My nan had one when I was little and I still think they're nicer than a hinged breadbox!

[Jenny]

The simple classic butter dish which can go in the microwave to soften real butter!

[Sarah]

The pudding basin is gorgeous! But sold out :( I cracked mine over Christmas, so I need an excuse for more pudding action. I miss my nutella souffle!

[Claire Friedlander]

I adore Cornishware, but have never seen the pastel coloured mugs before. I love those! My favourite piece of those I have at home is a huge breakfast cup and saucer. I am so thrilled to see that TG Green is back!

[Fran]

We use to have some of the blue mugs when I was little. They are still my favourite part of this collection.

[BarCar]

Got to be the Dreadnought Jug.

[The Mad House]

It would be their rolling pin for me.

[Kat]

I adore their hot chocolate mugs, room for marshmallows :) x

[Bea]

I love the chunky mortar and pestle. A gorgeous piece of Great British kitchen sculpture, as well as practical! Brilliant.

[Alison MacPherson]

I love the mugs in pink and red - so pretty and a nice change from the traditional blue (though I love that too)

[Sam]

I can't go past the mugs! I love my morning cuppa and it would shear heaven to have it out of one of these beauties! Great competition!

[Suzy Nightingale]

Oh I adore the Cornishware Teapot: http://www.tggreen.co.uk/gift-service#teapot-84cl

Have been looking for a lovely but practical teapot for some time, and this fits the bill!

The stripes on the Cornishware are so jaunty and remind me of seaside holidays.

[Pinar G.]

I really love Cornish Green sets' colour tone and the black set seems really elegant. actually I like the whole sets :D

[skirmishofwit]

Oh, what lovely mugs! The website is lovely - I especially like their teapot :)

[Mags]

I love the love cups - am hoping to turn all my tea making things red but some colourful stripes would be good too!

[Allison Cook]

Can you tell I'm not that great with computers? I just sent an email to enter this comp but I think I sent it to the wrong place! Hope this works. I choose a piece of Cornish Black. A jug would be my favourite. I also have the hots for the valentine mugs. X

[Helena]

The cappucino and espresso cups are my favourites! A modern take on a classic.

[lisakjellerød]

I would have to say that the pudding bowls are my favourite. I LOVE the new colours of these mugs. So pretty!

[Malissa Jones]

My favourite piece of Cornishware is the Graduated Jug. I love the useful capacities written inside.

[Lindsay]

My favourite is the biscuit jar crying out to be filled with bourbons!

[grace]

pretty pretty teacups are my favourite (:

[ladybird]

I love these! Just moved from London and would love to have a pretty bit of Britain back in our Texas home.

[leonie]

holy cow - that's a fab giveaway. i love cornishware and my sister has a few prized pieces at home in new zealand that her [english] mother-in-law gave her.

i do have a soft spot for the footed egg cups (but don't tell the others for fear they feel left out)!

[nicolette macdonald]

Amazing combination of nostalgia and zizzed up beauty. Utterly covetable.Something to wake up for!

[Silver&Jade]

Just found this lovely blog through the Times 50 best design blogs and am so glad I stopped by! I love the salt and pepper shakers. So simple.

[Jo]

This stuff is so classic. I love either a jug or a pudding bowl. I remember seeing similar in my Granny's kitchen, and I loved to bake with her!

[Rosie]

Being in Australia I'm not familiar with Cornishware...but these mugs are so sweet. I guess my favourite Cornishware would be anything with food or drink in it!

[Trudi]

Love the footed egg cups. They make boiled eggs look good!!!!

[Gillian]

I love almost anything stripey. The Valentine's Day mugs do it for me. Such a nice shade of red. AND they have chocolates inside. Yum Scrum Bum.

[Francesca]

I don't know if this is open to the US, but the teacups are just the sweetest!!! and actually these colored mugs are definitely a favorite. so cozy [:

[Melissa Wiechmann]

I love the polka dot cups. But the striped cups are fabulous as well!

[jen]

The entire range is beautiful, but I think my favourite would have to be the tea pot.

[Polly R]

My fave piece of Cornwishware has to be the beautiful stripey bowls! I made some delicious cream cheese icing in one the other day for a carrot cake and it's so nice! xx

[Jen Pringle]

Ohhh...it's too difficult to choose! I'm a lover of eggs for breakfast so I think I'll have to say the dear little egg cups. Oh, and I love the storage jars. And the whole range really! :D

[Naomi F.]

oooh I think these mugs ARE my favourite! I've always loved their classic milk jug and sugar bowl but these mugs are a great modern twist on an old favourite design!

Great competition! xo

[Marie Biswell]

The fav of all time has got to be the egg cups... life has got to be good if you wake up to a soft boiled egg with soldiers!

[Irina]

I love cornishware milk jugs - so lovely! But these mugs are very sweet too!

[Tamsin]

my favourite's are these pastel mugs; they'd be the perfect morning pick-me-up, so pretty!

[Hayley Bishop]

My favourite piece of cornishware has got to be the Pestle and mortar I love the handle with the t.g.green crest on it.

[Heidi]

Really difficult to single anything out, however, I'd go for the butter dish, as I can't think of a life without butter :-)

[Louise Owens]

I love the blue storage jars, they remind me of my Grandmas.

[Aileen OD]

I love the tea mugs and sugar pots best of all!

[Fionnuala]

Oh, I posted a comment yesterday but it seems to have disappeared. Anyway: my favourite piece would be a traditional blue Cornishware milk jug, which never fails to remind me of childhood Sunday afternoons spent at our family friend Margaret's house, where we would be served with lavish amounts of tea (for the adults) and milk and cake (for me).

[Stina]

I think the pudding basin might be my favorite. It's a hard pick. I find the basin's to be the most classic—and they're really having a comeback—there's a lot of larger bowls mimicking that style now.

[Jenny Wren]

I have always loved the blue and white stripe jugs and bowls! One day I'll have a dresser full of them in my future dream cottage!

[Ana Liza]

My favorite items must be the dreadnaught jugs for they have the most superior name.

[Jo]

My favourtie has to be my Granny's teapot.
I'm cornish, live in Cornwall & love the new colours of cornishware. :)

[Caroline]

I think that the pudding basin is fantstic, so authentic, looks like the perfect piece of crockery to make this years Christmas pud in!

[So-Shan]

Oooh, everything is so nice, how to choose your favourite?! I love teapots so it would have to be the teapot, with milk jug, so that I could make the perfect mug (or cup with saucer) of tea!

[liz]

Ooooh I love the cotton wool jar! It would look so cute on my dresser!

[Alma M]

I love the stripes so much and my favorite is the kitchen utensil jar.

[Karen]

I love the butter dish, its very different as its round....

[Alicia]

i love the milk jug/creamer so much - always so adorable standing sentry on your table, waiting for action

[anna]

I love the sage jug with bundles of dahlias in........yum

[Eileen.]

The serving bowl is my favourite!

[Sam Vallance]

its the cafetiere for me, just perfect with the new mugs!

[Jojo]

It has to be the adorable salt and pepper shakers, divine :)

[Maggie Bob]

Oh, tough choice, bu I'd have to say my favourite is the biscuit jar, mainly because it's got bisuits in it!
