Brexit mug by Lee Cartledge is completely useless
North Yorkshire potter Lee Cartledge has designed a commemorative Brexit mug that cannot be used and therefore "sums up the whole Brexit negotiations".
Cartledge, a potter at Bentham Pottery, designed the mug, which has the word Brexit cutting completely through its side, as a humorous response to Brexit.
"I'm not a political person really, but it is a political statement I guess,"Â said Cartledge to Dezeen. "It was more the humour than the political statement. It appealed to my sense of humour."
Cartledge shared a picture of Brexit mug on the Facebook page for Bentham Pottery on Tuesday ? the day that the British prime minister and EU officials agreed on a draft Brexit agreement in Brussels.
The mug is trending now on Twitter, as prime minster Theresa May's Brexit plans are faltering with two cabinet ministers quitting rather than back her draft proposal, which she must now present to parliament. Mug made as joke
The picture of the humorous mug posted on Facebook is titled "Limited edition Brexit mug available from 29th March 2019" ? the day that the UK is scheduled to leave the EU next year.
"It was done as a joke, I had no idea it would attract this sort of attention," said Cartledge.
"My initial idea was actually to stamp Brexit on it and then drill a load of holes into it, but going into the pottery that morning I thought that a graffiti-style font with holes would look much better."
