Original Flag Design Betsy Ross Coffee Mug
History remembers Betsy Ross as the woman who sewed the first American flag. What history neglected to mention was the original design specification.
According to sources we completely made up but choose to believe, the founding fathers arrived at Betsy's Philadelphia home in 1776 with a rather more emphatic design in mind. Thirteen symbols. One per colony. Each expressing the colonists' precise feelings towards the British Crown with remarkable clarity and anatomical specificity.
Betsy, ever the practical professional, reviewed the specifications, considered the needlework requirements, and made an executive decision.
Stars were easier to stitch.
And so history was made. The original design was quietly retired. The British were spared a more colourful national symbol. And Betsy Ross single-handedly saved the founding fathers from themselves with nothing but common sense and a needle and thread.
You're welcome, America.
250 years later. The original design lives on.
Perfect for history buffs, patriots with a sense of humour, fans of founding era revisionism, and anyone who appreciates a woman who got things done her way.
A perfect gift for Fourth of July, Independence Day, Presidents Day, history teachers, and anyone celebrating 250 years of American creative interpretation.

The quality of these larger mugs is very good. I have been putting mine through the dishwasher all the time and it shows no signs of fading or dulling. Ergonomically these are lovely to hold and have fast become my favourite mug for a big cup of tea or coffee.
Totally recommend getting the tea infuser with the mug especially if you like using loose leaf tea, which always tastes better from my experience and is better for the environment. Printing was good, bright and most importantly accurately matches the colouring shown on the website.
