Black Mug (15oz) - Poor Richards Almanac - Take this remark from Richard, poor and lame

A little wisdom with every cup.

Start your morning with rich coffee, a quiet moment, and a reminder to keep your perspective. This 15oz black ceramic mug pairs Benjamin Franklin’s wit with ornate, vintage-inspired artwork drawn from the world of Poor Richard’s Almanack.

Warm gold and parchment tones stand out against the glossy black finish. Franklin appears at his writing desk beneath a decorative banner, while the quotation offers its pointed advice: “Whate’er’s begun in anger, ends in shame.” Scrollwork, storm clouds, and a golden sun complete an illustration full of old-world character.

Make room for a thoughtful pause

Set it beside your favorite book, bring a touch of personality to your desk, or reach for it when the afternoon calls for tea. The generous 15oz capacity leaves room for your preferred brew, and the C-shaped handle offers an easy grip. It’s a practical everyday piece with a conversation-starting design.

For a reader, writer, history enthusiast, or admirer of Franklin’s humor, this mug makes a thoughtful gift that can become part of a familiar daily ritual.
