PBS Mystery #1

This week's mug is one of my personal favorites.  It is a freebie from the Public Broadcasting System in honor of their broadcast of the English produced Series "Mystery!" This is a 3 sided wrap-around design with the Mystery! logo above near center. 

There are several mugs in this series and this is my first.  These mugs were given away during their annual telethon fundraising event and feature drawings by Edward Gorey, which match the opening sequence of the show.  Here you can see a game of Croquet, but all is not as it seems.  One person hides while two others seemingly pause to gossip. 


When hot liquid is added, several things change.  People appear and disappear and clues abound. Supposedly, there  is an actual mystery here that can be solved once the clues appear.  

The color change is not as good as I'd like, but you can still see the changes that should occur.  (I've never figured out the mystery or the solution.) 

DESIGN:  Full, 3+ Sided
THERMOCHROMIC: 1 Color
TYPE: Corporate Incentive
