One Thing Is Certain, That Life Flies Mug | Rubaiyat Quote Gift Mug, Literary Gift

A small winged hourglass sits inside a vine roundel, the line curling round it in an ornate Persian-style arch: One thing is certain, that Life flies.

The words are FitzGerald's, lifted straight from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Eight hundred years of somebody else already having said it better than you could at a birthday dinner.

Part of the Rubaiyat set, so it sits happily on the shelf next to the others in the same arabesque border if you're building the full collection.

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