Vulgar Tea Sets (Update)

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Outlandish Creations Embodies Everything Tea Time is Not About

— December 29, 2012 — Naughty
The Vulgar Tea Set by Outlandish Creations includes an ironic mix of dainty and beautiful ceramic tea cups and saucers that include the added bonus of having vulgar words imprinted on them.

Some of the offensive words adorned on the cups include "Whore," "Nice Ass" and some other cuss words that would make your grandma blush. Though vulgar, you can't really take these tea sets so seriously because they really are intended to be tongue-in-cheek.

The vulgar words are quite subtle and written in a very elegant print to really make them blend in. Though I would not suggest serving tea to your family in these cups, it may be amusing seeing how long it takes for them to realize what their tea cups say.

Give these tea cups by Outlandish Creations as a present and let your friends (or frienemies) know how you really feel about them.
