Oracle Bone Script Hand Carved 15 oz Ceramic Mug
Item is in stockHurry! Low inventoryItem is out of stock
Item is unavailable
Explore the earliest form of written Chinese over a mug of your favorite brew. Oracle bone script dates back to the late 2nd millennium BC when inscriptions were made in the scapula bones of oxen or turtle shells and then exposed to flames. The pattern of cracks that formed in the bones would then be interpreted to make predictions. We would, however, recommend consulting your weather app or local meteorologist rather than throwing your mug into the fire to determine if rain is coming.
The characters on this earthy-red mug have been been sand-carved by hand into the surface of the mug for a unique tactile feel.
Gift one to your favorite linguist, professor, or significant other and make their day. Each piece is made with care by skilled artisans, so you can let your love for science and art shine through with every sip.

So fun for PhD student
Perfect gift for the PhD student in your life. Beautiful and multifunctional.
Great gift—well received
I was hesitant to give a water bottle as a gift as it seems everyone already has multiples, but this one is so unique and adding the tea infuser and straw tops makes it really versatile. It was a hit. I would definitely recommend it.

A big hit!
Got this mug as a gift for my daughter and she adores it! She loves the fact that her lab mates recognize what the design is right away but for someone who isn’t familiar with gel electrophoresis it’s still an interesting pattern. She liked the size and quality of the mug, too. She was especially appreciative of Cognitive Surplus’s sustainability and social impact policies and felt good about supporting your company.
Happy daughter
The mushroom journal and tote bag were gifts for my daughter. She loves them! Really good quality. Thanks!

Beer Chemistry Set
I bought this set of two beer glasses for my husband for Christmas. He found them quite amusing, and something we needed. They are good solid glass and won’t be easily knocked about by our very inquisitive cats. Service from your company was great (although USPS was not good about updating their tracking system, not your problem but theirs). I will certainly ship with you again.
