Henry VIII and His Wives


This week's mug is a great full color wrap around design and was a gift from a friend.  She's an Anglophile and got as much of a kick out of it as I have.  This mug shows Henry VIII on the front of the mug and the left and right sides show each of his 6 wives, dressed all in black with only their hands visible. The ladies appear in chronological order. 


When hot liquid is added to the mug, the faces of the wives vanish, leaving only their white silhouette and grey dresses.  Above their hands is their name and how they 'left' Henry's side.   On the right side of the mug you will see Catherine of Aragon - Divorced; Ann Boleyn - Beheaded; Jane Seymour - Died. And then on the left side: Ann of Cleeves - Divorced; Kathryn Howard - Beheaded; Katheryn Parr - Survived. 
The mug comes in its own full color box!  A wonderful and educational addition to the collection.
