Bought for camping, now using it every day

I am absolutely OBSESSED with this purchase!
I originally bought this mug for an upcoming camping trip, but I love it so much that I've already added it to my daily routine.

​The clear illustrations and earthy tones are gorgeous. It's super practical that it's big enough to hold two cups' worth of coffee in a single mug!
The quality feels top-notch, and it was packaged so exceptionally well that it's practically impossible for it to break during transit.

​I couldn't be happier with it—highly recommended!

When I saw this mug , I was so excited to have it because it has the cuneiform writing of ancient civilizations of Iraq . I start my day in the morning by having my tea in this beautiful mug .Thank you .

Egyptologist approved

Having a Masters Degree in Egyptology, I think I can review this mug quite well. It's the most precisely and accurately carved mug I have ever seen - with the beautiful hymn to Hathor on it. Amazing! Egyptologist approved.

Love the mugs hate my clumsy paws

I am happy to report that this is the third time I have ordered the delightful entomology mug - I love it a lot but I keep breaking it with my clumsy paws. Hopefully third time is the charm, it is lovely to drink out of. This year I also ordered the Rune mug for my husband, it has a lovely texture and it is equally adored!

The most beautiful mug in the world

I have never been over my dinosaur phase, or my ancient Egypt phase. So here we are. I saw this mug and although it is way bigger than what I needed, I had to get it. It is the most beautiful mug ever! The background ground could be seen as sandstone, and has a nice earthy colour. And then you have the carved hieroglyphs all around the mug and they are everything! Very pretty mug. I am in love.

Very satisfied

This isn't the first time I've ordered from Cognitive Surplus, and it certainly won't be the last. It's stylistically simple and therefore appealing. The drinking bottles, for example, are very cleverly designed.

There is one weak point... the courier.

I love it but it cracked after 2 uses

I love the design and size but after 2 uses it has a deep crack the whole way through the mug. It was washed and treated with care so not sure how this has happened. Really disappointing for a mug at this price.
