Love it!

Cuneiform has been important to me for a long time so I love having it on my daily coffee. I especially love that it is etched in so I can actually feel the symbols.

Awesome cup

I am very pleased with this addition to my morning 'cup of coffee' routine. It's comfortable, well-made, and I love the cuneiform writing. If I had only had this when I was teaching World History in high school...

Yay, cuneiform!

I'm loving this mug. The quality is excellent. I like the fact that the cuneiform is incised into the surface. I like the size. I like the feel of the glaze--it's smooth. And I like that it reminds me of Dr. Irving Finkle's amazing You Tube lectures every morning.
