Scottish Thistle Design: Our cup incorporates a colorful design showcasing a thistle flowers on a beige background. The thistle is the national flower of Scotland and has an impressive story behind it - it is said that a thistle saved the Scottish army from a Viking ambush as one of the Vikings stepped on a thistle flower and woke up the Scots with his cry. This colorful mug is the perfect design for your morning cup of coffee or tea. Created in the Scottish thistle style of ancient Celtic manuscripts, this mug has a deep and historical meaning that goes beyond its beautiful and colorful design.

Cup Capacity is 13 fl oz, to ensure the longevity of this mug, it is recommended that it be washed by hand with mild detergent and dried with a soft cloth.
