Ewan McGregor
Coffee Pot, Mug and Cream Jug
Ewan is drinking from an enormous coffee pot, hammered to a leather-like finish, that is reminiscent of a Victorian Highland picnic set.

The motorbike handles that feature on both the mug and the coffee pot remind Ewan of his incredible journey around the world on his BMW. He enjoyed the most memorable drink of his life on that trip, when he was given the strongest cup of coffee he has ever drunk at the Ukrainian border, having spent fourteen hours trying to get into the country.
Ewan is an actor and producer, whose films include Star Wars, Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, Little Voice, A Life Less Ordinary, Moulin Rouge, Black Hawk Down, Down with Love and Big Fish.

Marion Kane
West Kilbride
Born 1975
Marion departed from her usual feminine style of silversmithing, with its natural, flowing lines, to create this chunky and quintessentially masculine coffee set for Ewan McGregor. She raised the main body and lid of each piece, used fabrication and riveting for the handles, and she turned the acrylic stoppers. Marion sourced reclaimed motorbike handles for the handles of the jug and mug. On the jug she laser engraved the names of the countries that Ewan and Charley Boorman visited on their "Long Way Round" motorbike trip. The registration plates of their bikes are inscribed on the mug.
