Like a Thief in the Night

This is the second mug in the set of two I picked up last week.  It is also a wrap around design, showing the outline of a city at night with a crescent moon and stars above.  In the lower right is the phrase "©LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT"

When hot liquid is added, the entire design clears to show buildings with their lights on, and the figure of Jesus Christ in a bright blue sky with rays of yellow coming from behind him.  
This is a beautiful use of the thermochromic change and I look forward to finding more in this series.

The King is Coming

In my collecting of these incredible mugs, I've found mugs from just about every industry.  This last weekend, I found two mugs from a different perspective, Christian Religion.
This first mug shows a drawing of the sky, with a bunch of fluffy clouds.  Upper right of this wrap around design is a dark blue area of sky.  To the lower right, is "© THE KING IS COMING"



When hot liquid is added the dark blue sky clears to show a light blue sky, with rays of light coming from the figure of Jesus Christ.  The mug is like new and the color change is quick and complete.  
Next week, I will post the companion to this beautiful mug.

Atlanta 1996

This week's mug is from the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.  On the left side of the mug is a large dark area, with a pattern of leaves above the words "Atlanta 1996" (separated by the Olympic Torch.) Notable on this mug is a gold rim (though it is unsure if it is gold flake or just a gold paint.)

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the entire dark area clears to reveal a light area with the leaves in dark green ink above a dark green quilt like pattern.  Sold at the Atlanta Games, this is a great souvenir mug.

Coreg Prescription

This is a really pretty mug from Coreg prescription medicine.  On both the right and left side of the mug is the logo and generic name for Coreg: Carvedilol.  On the front of the mug is a purple shape, reminiscent of a paint brush colored haphazardly. 


Wen hot liquid is added, this brushed design clears to show a modern heart shape.  Coreg is for high blood pressure, and to prevent heart disease, so a heart is a great addition to this design.

This is a beautiful mug, with a great color change.  It is the kind that is given to Drs' offices to advertise the product.
