HALLOWEEN SKULL

This is the last of the Halloween series for this year.  This mug features a nice creepy skull with dark accents in the eyes and around the mouth. Though the design is a 2 sided look, the two sides reach around to meet in the middle, giving it a wrap around look.

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the eyes and accents around the mouth clear to reveal a pair of red, blood shot eyes and what appears to be blood dripping from the teeth!  Very cool design.

This mug is brand new, and comes in its own special box.

HALLOWEEN GRAVEYARD


This is another in a great Halloween series which I started last week.  This is a Halloween wrap around design of a graveyard  shown during sundown, with the shadowy graves against a darkening sky.  Very atmospheric.


When hot liquid is added, those dark graves, along with a few dark shadows, reveal "RIP" along with some white ghostly hands reaching up from the ground.

Brand new, in its own box! (See Below!)


DESIGN:  Wrap Around 3 sided

HALLOWEEN CREEPY GIRL FACE


This week's magic mug prepares us for the Halloween season.  The mug shows a dark silhouette of a little girl, complete with pig tails,  surrounded by creepy dark arms and odd background in a full wrap around design.  Here and there shadowy hands reach out.  

When hot liquid is added to the mug, the center of the little' girl's face clears to reveal a scary face!  Pure creep factor cracked up to the top! 

The mug is new and even comes with a retail box with the great phrase: Eat, Drink and Be Scary!"

Daughter Mug





Welcome again, Mugateers!  It's been a long time coming, but I finally got my light table set up and some mugs ready for viewing.  It's becoming harder and harder to find the old style advertising mugs, but I'm always on the lookout!

Today's mug is a retail purchase, and comes as a plain black mug with white inside.  When hot liquid is added to the mug, the entire mug clears to reveal a sentimental message from Mom to a daughter.
"To my
DAUGHTER
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be!
I'm so proud of
THE WOMAN YOU
Have become!
Love Mom"

This is a new style of sentimental mugs, but I love the color change.

DESIGN:  2 Sided, though a full 3 sided color change.
