Star Trek - Next Generation

This mug is from the television show "Star Trek - the Next Generation."  It was sold during the initial promotion for the show in 1986-87.  On he left side of the mug is the iconic Enterprise NCC-1701, as seen in the original Star Trek Series.  It is shown on a field of black with 'STAR TREK' in its original font below. 

When hot liquid is added the entire black field clears to reveal the Enterprise NCC-1701-D as depicted in 'Star Trek - The Next Generation.'  The stylized logo for the series appears below the ship.  In addition, the NCC-1701 and it's accompanying logo fade out and a large oval appears in its place suggesting the horizon of some unknown planet.  

This is a great mug and as a Trek Fan (Trekkie?  Trekker?) from way back, I really enjoy having this in my collection. The color change is quick, though not as complete as needs be, but it is still a great mug.
