US Capitol

This week's mug is from the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C.  It says right on the side there, U.S. CAPITOL.  The picture is of the capitol dome building, shown beneath a dark sky.  The lawn in front of the capitol is also thermo-ink covered.  Below right is the artist's name, James Seimer.  The mug is in great condition, the ink is nice and dark.
When hot liquid is added, the picture is almost shocking in its design. When I expected a blue sky, I get a giant American Flag Waving in the breeze!  Even a set of windows in the dome cleared to show this beautiful image!
This is a mug found in gift shops and tourist areas of our nation's capitol, and the Smithsonian museums for retail purchase. 

DESIGN:  Full, 3+ Sided
THERMOCHROMIC: 1 Color
