NIL DESPERANDUM, banked in a mock-heraldic banner above a small steaming kettle wreathed in laurel. Underneath, smaller, the translation: never despair, the kettle's on.

It's Horace's actual motto, borrowed from a Roman ode and put to better domestic use. Genuine two-thousand-year-old wisdom, now hanging about on a mug rack.

Part of the Latin Mottoes (Loosely Translated) series, so it lines up nicely on the shelf with the rest of the set.

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