With slogans like Sex and Mugs and Rock ‘N' Roll, Pret Tea V'acant and Smells like Tea Spirit stamped on a white porcelain body in colourful retro typesets, these iconic Keith Brymer Jones bucket mugs have a feature safety pin carefully placed so that it doesn't interfere with drinking or holding, whilst still expressing the punk rocker within.
