Silence Please Mug
A polite exhortation, “silence please,” appears beneath the English Gothic arch at the entrance to the Bodleian Old Library. Another appears in the library’s fifteenth-century courtyard. In fact, these signs are presented at every entrance to the Bodleian, one of Europe’s oldest libraries and the main research library at the University of Oxford. A reminder of the sanctity of scholarship and the quiet passion of booklovers, this bone china mug is an ode to one of the world’s most famous temples of literature. This mug makes the perfect desk accessory for the Anglophile or gift for those seeking to bring home the tranquility of an Oxford library. Made in Staffordshire exclusively for the Bodleian Libraries.
