At first glance, the Things Could Be Worse Mug looks like a refined little porcelain treasure, the kind you’d expect to find in a stately tea service or your great-aunt’s cabinet. Elegant blue-willow pattern, delicate curves; it practically whispers, “I belong at high tea.”
But look closer. Okay, that’s a stylish pagoda next to; okay, that’s a zombie poodle lurking next to it. And is that Sasquatch? Yep. Also: pirates, cephalopods, UFOs, rambunctious robots, an aggressive pterodactyl, and at least one giant frog who is definitely up to no good. Basically, it’s a dignified way to sip your coffee while being reminded: “Hey, whatever’s happening in your inbox right now, at least you’re not being pestered by an amphibious devil blob.”
These mugs are made of actual, honest-to-goodness fine porcelain with museum-grade glazing techniques and feature the amazing designs of Don Moyer.
They are beautiful, they’re sturdy, and they’re gloriously subversive. Like traditional heirloom china, but with way more calamities per square inch.
So go ahead—drink your morning coffee, admire the chaos, and remind yourself: things could always be worse.
