Today I was a bit rushed as I lingered in bed, which is the worst consequence of snooze on alarm clocks (or being able to set multiple alarms 5 minutes apart on your cell phone which is functioning as your alarm clock). Nevertheless today’s mug was slightly larger than average and had a nice heft to it. The outside is a deep blue, which I don't think the pictures do justice, and the inside is a pure white. There is a surprise on this mug, which I noticed while studying it. The words “Yellow House” have rubbed off. Did they come off from extended use? Where the just cheap paint to begin with? Did someone pilfer this mug from Yellow House Coffee in Texas and bring it to New Mexico? Google isn’t giving up any secrets on a “yellow house” coffee mug. Whatever it’s story, it was a sturdy mug that resisted the temptation to tip over on this rushed morning.

As the under marking and signature are to dark to be read, this mug was stamped as “M Ware” - China.
