Al Murphy

Watership Downer

STOCK ALERT! The sad and literate bunny rabbit is back! We are delighted to reintroduce a limited edition run of one of our most iconic pieces: The Watership Downer stoneware mug.

With classic artwork by the crazy funny Al Murphy, this latest version is still blue inside.

The mug still has all the benefits of a mug and holds hot/cold liquids (coffee / tea / gin / Rishi Sunak's tears) but is cool and funny at the same time.
