This mug was created to introduce the Elvis Postage Stamp in 1993 (and holds the record for the most abundantly printed stamp in US Postage History.) Though the stamp just showed the design without the bars, the mug shows the stamp behind a set of black Jailhouse Bars (even a heart shaped keyhole) To the right and left are the words Jailhouse Rock.
When hot liquids are added the bars disappear and the word Jailhouse also disappears leaving Elvis and ROCK. Also visible now is the caption "THE KING OF ROCK & ROLL." at the bottom.
On the right side of the mug is the following information:
STAMP DESIGN © 1992 UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE.
IMAGE DESIGN CONCEPTS INC. DENVER,COLORADO
NONEXCLUSIVE LICENSEE OF THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE.
I'm especially happy to post this mug at this time as just last week (July 2, 2015) the US Postal Service announced another Elvis Stamp as part of its Forever Line honoring music legends. The 1993 series was the most popular in US Postal History. Additionally, Elvis will be the first artist ever to be featured on two stamps.
