Tipsy Bob review:

First, Bosko Inc. ships quickly and packages their items well. That's something I appreciate, seeing I do a decent amount of Ebay type bid-ness. Shipping costs are kept pretty low too. Kudos.

As already stated, this mug is pretty large, much bigger than we'd expected, yet easy to hold in one hand given the "3-D nooks and crannies" nature of the design. Overall it is right in line with Bosko's past ceramic work. I always considered his stuff more "primitive" in design and structure. This is not to be construed as a negative, not at all.

We got two "TB's". One is a bit lighter and both have a few differences here and there. The mug does have some handmade characteristics, again the "primitive" nature of his ceramics. We're quite pleased with the purchase, it appears to be Michelle's new personal mug. I wish Bosko would do more ceramics; I recall in previous years how much he had to offer.

In conclusion:

Typical Bosko ceramic in quality and design. A nice idea that was well executed, it has grown on me (as I was more partial to his first TB type mug). The price was a bit high, but it is a nice splurge given its limited production.
