Battle of Hastings 1066 Accent Mug — Saxon Shield Wall | Bayeux Tapestry Style

This 11oz accent mug carries that moment in Bayeux Tapestry style: shields locked, spears bristling, the tension of the line captured in crisp ceramic detail. A bold coloured interior and handle frame the artwork against the white ceramic body, bringing a different character to each colourway. History in your hands, every morning.
