Can`t personally recommend anyone. But from experience, I would make sure they`re dishwasher safe. I`ve lost a few to the water beast ;)

Having a look around the web. Theses people seem pretty good. Lots of info and contact details...

Personalised Mugs | Custom Mugs | Micromarketing

The cost per impression on a mug is extremely low: custom branded mugs last on average 3 years and when you consider the exposure gained by having a mug on your desk in the work place, in the kitchen, and even at home with guests visiting – the exposure is high.

They 'come across' as good quality but I wonder what the minimum order would be and at what cost per unit?

Well one can but ask ;)
 
Most photo printing technologies rely on a white background where white is needed in the applied or printed photo. When you make contact with a company be certain to tell them that your photos will be on black backgrounds, or you may be wasting their time and yours. Maybe you will end up buying mugs with white inside and out and letting the printer apply the blacks as part of the photos. At least then, the standard process of white being printed as no ink will work properly.

Those mugs in the link above won't be cheap, I can assure you that, they are not the bog standard die sub prints then applied on a mug heat press which is the normal cheap way.

My wife has two Photobox mugs that have been dishwashed daily for over 2 years now and still look as good as new.

I have thought about printing on to mugs and I would like white inside and Black outer which suit my style of photos !
 
I have used a company called Bargoed Branding who do all sorts of t-shirt printing etc and embroidery. They also do mugs:

I don't think you understood my post. Using a white mug, and then making the outside black via the image being printed, allows you to have white in the image via a lack of ink in that position. You still get the white inside and black outside, but with the ability to have white in parts of the image. Printing on a mug with the outside of it already black will prevent you from having white in your image, unless there is a capability of white ink in the printing process. Most printing processes depend on a white background instead of white ink.

I found a place on the internet that did them but don't remember the site name. Last one I had done a local print place in town did. Mine are on white cups. Suggestion if you don't mind. I put a good vignette around my picture's the same color as the cup's, to elminate the sharp line at the edge of the photo. Doesn't look like a photo glued onto the cup.
 
Bargoed Branding will do mugs and they are very good indeed. Based in south Wales but will post.
