Festina Lente Mug | Funny Latin Motto Tea Gift, Tortoise Coffee Mug

A tortoise, unbothered, carrying a full teacup on its shell. Above it, in a mock-heraldic banner: FESTINA LENTE. Below, smaller, the translation: make haste slowly, finish your tea.

It was good enough for the Emperor Augustus. He had it as his personal motto, and an empire to run. This mug has a tea to finish, which is arguably the harder job.

Part of the Latin Mottoes (Loosely Translated) set, so it pairs neatly with the rest of the collection if you're building a shelf of them.

• Ceramic, glossy white finish
• One size: 11oz (325ml)
• Dishwasher and microwave safe
• Printed on both sides, so the banner reads from either handle position
