About This Design

Bull in a China Shop Mug

Bull in a China Shop Mug

The phrase "As careful as a Bull in a china shop" usually refers to someone who is clumsy in word or deed. For example a clumsy person in a room full of fragile items or a person who behaves in a way insensitive towards other people. There is some uncertainty of the origin of this phrase, but, it was first recorded in the novel Jacob Faithful by Frederick Marryat around 1834. This phrase has found itself as a part of popular culture, from popular songs, to TV shows. In fact, on a show that bust myths, they showed that a bull in a china shop really isn't that bad. In a confined space bulls rarely move in erratic and clumsy ways, examples included pens and trailers. This illustration is of a bull shopping around a china shop, and accidently breaks a china bowl.

Order was easy and communication great. Order arrived pretty quickly. Unfortunately 2 mugs broke in transit. Helena and the friendly team sent 2 new mugs which arrived safely. Communication was prompt, friendly and extremely helpful. Printing was perfect.
