### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ very cute! arrived intact!
*by J***I on December 8, 2023*

I got this as a gift for the pun and philosophy lover in my life and she really likes it! It's smaller than a mug, but taller than a typical ceremonial tea cup. The print was clear, the cup itself was intact so i consider it sturdy. Stunning as a decorative and functional piece.
