Description
This white stoneware mug puts a blunt morning mood into words, with TOO BUSY FOR BULLSHIT printed in bold black capitals on its side. The inside is glazed black and the handle is black to match, so the dark interior shows at the rim while the white body keeps the lettering crisp and easy to read. The wording appears on both sides of the mug, so it faces outwards whichever hand you drink with. It holds 11oz, a good everyday measure for a full cup of tea or coffee, and stands 9.8cm tall and 8.5cm deep, a familiar mug size that sits happily on a desk or a kitchen shelf.
We think it earns its place on a work desk or in a home office, where the wording says what a packed diary cannot. It is just as at home next to the kettle for the first brew of the day. It makes a cheeky Father's Day gift with a laugh built in, the kind of present that gets used every morning rather than tucked in a cupboard. The language is strong, so it is best kept for a home or workplace where that reads as a joke rather than a surprise.
The mug is made from ceramic stoneware with a glazed finish, which gives it a smooth surface inside and out. As general good practice for glazed stoneware, wash it by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth to keep the black lettering and the dark glaze looking their best. For a Father's Day morning, fill it with his usual brew and set it down beside him before he has had the chance to say he is too busy.
