Eres La Puta Ama mug

Black and white ceramic mug with a message

The Spanish phrase Eres la puta ama — roughly "you're the absolute boss" — printed in black on white ceramic, with no other decoration: here the text is the design. It's a mug you can read from the other side of the table, so it works at home or on an office desk, provided the atmosphere allows it.

It measures 9 x 11.5 x 10 cm, a normal breakfast-mug size rather than an espresso cup. Dishwasher and microwave safe, so it's for daily use, not for display.

Why it works as a gift

It's a way of telling someone what you think of them without getting solemn about it. It works for a friend who has just pulled something off, for a colleague who deserves the credit, and as a birthday present between people who know each other well. It arrives in a plain cardboard box.
