About This Design

Bull in a China Shop Mug

Bull in a China Shop Mug

The phrase "As careful as a Bull in a china shop" usually refers to someone who is clumsy in word or deed. For example a clumsy person in a room full of fragile items or a person who behaves in a way insensitive towards other people. There is some uncertainty of the origin of this phrase, but, it was first recorded in the novel Jacob Faithful by Frederick Marryat around 1834. This phrase has found itself as a part of popular culture, from popular songs, to TV shows. In fact, on a show that bust myths, they showed that a bull in a china shop really isn't that bad. In a confined space bulls rarely move in erratic and clumsy ways, examples included pens and trailers. This illustration is of a bull shopping around a china shop, and accidently breaks a china bowl.

I loved designing this mug using images stored on Zazzle. Was able to choose the font for the name and uplaod a background for behind the name, and a fabulous image of a black and white horse. It came out beautifully well and I was well pleased.

An attractive good quality item. The recipient is delighted with it, liked the humorous caption and has put it into use straight away. Very clear design and print with good colour quality.
