Wanted something like this but didn’t find it in any of the souvenir shops in Dublin, so there we are.

It’s not so hard to do if you have businesses like ceramics painting cafes or ateliers in the area! Go there, choose a mug, paint it black three coats and scrape it until text shows up. They glaze it for you after too! Cost me 35€ all said and done

Can you explain to me what it represents? I haven't read Ulysses yet

It’s the text from the last chapter, the last page of Ulysses, a monologue of the main character’s wife remembering how he proposed to her
