Nae Man Can Tether Time or Tide Mug | Robert Burns Quote Mug, Scottish Gift

An hourglass wrapped in a sprig of thistle, and the line beneath it that Robert Burns gave to Tam o' Shanter: Nae man can tether time or tide.

It's from one of his best-known poems, written some two hundred years ago and still true on a Monday morning. Framed in thistles, with a plain crosshatch band beneath, same as the rest of the set.

Part of our Burns collection, so it sits well alongside the other mugs in the series.

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