Social norms might restrict you from revealing to people how you feel about them, but that doesn't mean you can't get around it. Miss Havisham's has created a delicate series of not-so-subtly insulting cups "for the lady who speaks her mind," and the collection deserves to be inside everybody's cupboard.
"A wise woman once told me, 'If you got hate in your heart, you gotta let it out,'" Melisa Johnson, the woman behind Miss Havisham's wrote. "By far, our favorite way to release it is by stewing over a scalding cup of tea." Available in blue, aqua, or yellow, each cup comes with a saucer and a strong dose of brutal honesty. The phrases include "Kindly fuck off," "Please, go die," and other classics.
"I've been an animation producer for 20 years and this was a much needed creative outlet," Melissa explained her connection with tableware to *Bored Panda*. "My grandmother was a (crazy) sometimes-antique dealer and I grew up in an eccentric family surrounded by lovely, but often broken, things. Every woman in my family is a Miss Havisham to some degree so I guess old and creepy imprinted on me because pretty much everything I love is chipped and discarded."
"I love the juxtaposition of high brow and low. Here are these delicate and prissy cups that aren’t really what they seem on the outside and neither are most of us. They have a history and they also have spunk. Context is really everything. They can be super mean I suppose but if you don’t get my sense of humor there’s really nowhere to go from there."
"We hate your baby" is Melissa's favorite phrase from the whole collection. "No one is going to say that out loud but we’ve all thought it at one time or another. Oddly enough, that cup is particularly popular with parents which surprised me." Available individually or as a set, these insulting teacups and saucers start at around $60.

In fact, I am poisoning you. If you can see this know now that this tea was laced with cyanide. Have a nice day.

I would have written...50% chance the tea had poison in it. May the odds be in your favor.

I've had three different people tag me in these, and yet no one has bothered to send them to my doorstep. Who's lacking the Christmas spirit now?

If I was drinking out of this cup I probably would choke. With laughter. Or at least snort tea out of my nose.

That scene is actually from an opera. Can't recall the name right now... Ophelia?

As a Harry Potter fan I would do anything to be called this, preferably literally.
Noctis Nix 8 years ago
Every time I've been called this I must say it was not an insult. Harry Potter for the win!

A nice ellegant way to manifest perversion. When I think everybody replays what parents have done with little babies I say My God! We are all psychopates! Better saying than insinuating and better complete an efficient thérapy than insinuating in the cup!

There are people who are really kind, saying that it's cruel and that they woud never give this to someone And here I am... I'll give this to my best friend or just my good friends to show them my love They know me so they'll just laugh And if someone give me this I'll just say "Ow, so sweet, thank you, I love you too !" while laughing too hard ahah

Bahaha I got my boyfriend of five years a valentine's card with a crudely drawn heart and that text on it last valentines day and everyone thought he'd given it to me and told him off. I received a snoopy card with more hearts on it than should be legal, and his reaction was "I hate you". He admitted that he'd have gotten me the card I gave him if he'd seen it in the shop though. Maybe I should get him this teacup next year, just for continuation..

Is there an entire line of china that I can purchase with vulgar sayings on it! Plated8,bowls,etc?

That wise woman is really wise and You must not accumulate the negative emotions inside you like electric condensator - these negative emotions destroy your nervous system. But You can discharge situation like Miranda Lambert does usually- when she says what she think - and goes to press the buttons. Ha-ha-ha! These teacups with insulting inscription are very convenient for the big quarrel or scandal, to hurl these teacups into wall and to smash them! I like only three inscriptions there: "witch", "good witch" and "bad witch". Also I like the purple witch 😘
